Towns asks for clarity over ambulance bay Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Lanark County’s decision to remove any possibility that the new Smiths Falls area ambulance station would be located within the town limits has left councillors shocked, dismayed and confused.

“It’s just, it’s baffling,” said Coun. Chris Cummings. “It would actually be more expensive to deliver the product.”

Glenn Barnes, CAO for the Township of Montague challenges the notion that establishing the service bay outside of the town would create additional cost in an email written the afternoon of Sept 23.

This week, town councillors directed staff at their committee of the whole meeting Sept. 28 to draft a letter as well as See AMBULANCE page SF2

The 17th annual Walk for the ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) Society of Canada, Lanark-Leeds-Grenville Chapter, kicked off at Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls on Sept. 26. Roughly 75 walkers took part; travelling through the downtown core of Smiths Falls. Participants were treated to a free barbecue following the event – manned by volunteers from the Smiths Falls Civitan Club, with donations from M&M Meat Shop and the Garden Market. Walking was a family affair for Team Hazel. The matriarch (grandmother, stepmother) of their family died from ALS in 1997. Back row, from left: Robbie Strike, Erin Strike, Alex Ireland, Darla Ripley, Christina Willoughby and Elaine Ireland holding a picture of Maria Khan (another member of the family who took a solo walk in support of ALS in Australia the day prior). Front row, from left, Elsie Strike, Gerry Willoughby, Hazel Willoughby (her great-grandmother’s namesake) and Juliette (the dog).

Navigating the healthcare system workshops announced In the last year some members of the CARP Lanark County chapter board of directors have had personal experience with assisting elderly family members with complex medical issues.

Based on those experiences, we believe that people frequently don’t know how to find, or how to qualify for, the medical services they need. The board decided to create a program to provide information about navigating the Ontario healthcare system.

We have received funding from the Government of Ontario to create a workshop and host the workshop three times across Lanark County for seniors,

families and their caregivers. A meal is included at a nominal cost of $5 (free to CARP members).

Registration is required and is now open for the following three locations: • Oct. 20, 5 to 9 p.m. at Almonte Old Town Hall, 14 Bridge St. (register by Oct. 13) • Nov. 3, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Smiths Falls Kinsmen Community Pavilion, Lower Reach Park, 12 Old Sly’s Road (register by Oct. 28) • Nov. 17, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Perth Civitan Hall, 6787 Hwy 43 (register by Nov. 6) Call Lisa Ryan at 613-256-1031 ext.

62 during business hours or send an email to lryan@themills.on.ca to register.

Please specify the names of each attendee, if each is a CARP member and which event location you are attending.

The program will address aging in place (in-home support services, transportation services); residential options (retirement residences, assisted living, long-term care); special medical services (physiotherapy, chemotherapy, dialysis, assistive devices, etc.); and end of life options (palliative care, hospice).

ing system-wide portfolios for special education, Aboriginal education, health, safety and wellness, and early learning.

In 2010, Sliwa was appointed as superintendent of instruction and learning technologies with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, initiating key dialogues about future-ready schools and supporting operational planning to enhance technology-enabled learning in all classrooms. It was a particular privilege for Sliwa to support the district’s student leadership portfolio, which involved frequent contact with student trustees, student council presidents, and the school district’s student senate as they sought to add student voice to matters of immediate interest to the school district.

Sliwa is committed to life-long learning, having completed Master’s degrees in public administration, curriculum design and instruction, and indigenous studies, as well as holding principal and supervisory officer certifications.

He has a long history of involvement in the delivery of professional education programs. He serves as a facilitator for the Supervisory Officers’ Qualification Program with the Eastern Ontario Staff Development Network.

According to documents obtained by this newspaper from the Ontario Court of Justice, Kanata resident Rhonda Fleming is charged with failing to stop or remain at the scene of an accident and obstructing a police officer, as well as a Highway Traffic Act violation for driving a motor vehicle without an interlock device.

The charges stem from an Aug. 24 incident in Smiths Falls, where, according to a Smiths Falls Police report, Fleming hit an off duty police officer’s vehicle in the parking lot of a local restaurant.

“The female was driving a local business vehicle of her own and left the scene of the accident,” the report stated. “The officer followed the female to another business where she abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot.”

Acting LAWS board president Kathy Hoyland confirmed Fleming was driving a van belonging to the organization on the day in question, but declined to comment on the charges she is facing or whether Fleming is currently on sick leave from her position

with LAWS. “LAWS did own the vehicle,” Hoyland stated.

“I have no comment on that (sick leave). She (Fleming) is an employee and as the board hired her and I’m the president, I’m in the position of her boss,” she said.

Fleming’s first court appearance will be Monday, Oct. 19 at 9 a.m. at the Perth courthouse.

None of these charges have been proven in court.

“We’ve (board and membership) have been fighting back and forth ever since that date,” Hoyland commented.

Fast forward to Sept. 17 when Hoyland, on holidays, received a call from then-board president of LAWS, Caroline Paterson, stating a 10th request had been found “so they were deeming that meeting on the 30th of May was legal and said they wanted to hold another meeting to hand over (operations) to a new board,” she said.

Francophone Liberal candidate adapts to ‘local reality’ in Anglophone riding Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Editor’s note: This is the third in a series of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston candidate profiles running in the weeks leading up to the federal election Oct. 19.

It’s Phil now, not Philippe.

Philippe Archambault, the Liberal Party of Canada’s candidate in LanarkFrontenac-Kingston for the Oct. 19 federal election, has business cards that read Philippe, and his red-and-white name tag has both Philippe and Phil, the latter in brackets – but his election signs are simply “Phil Archambault.”

“I’ve adapted to the local reality,” said Archambault sitting on a park bench beside the Perth and District Union Public Library on a sunny afternoon recently. “You have to respect the people when you are running.”

Besides, he shrugged, people call him Phil all the time.

“It says who I am,” he said. “I’m versatile. I’ve been around. It won’t stop me from moving forward.”

Born in Montreal, he is Metis – part First Nations, part French-Canadian, but, this has not proven to be a stumbling block in this predominantly English-speaking, rural Ontario riding.

“Very little,” he said of any negativity attached to his campaign over his ancestry. He has only had one voter look down at a brochure he handed

“It’s not the majority. It’s a minority of people,” said Archambault. “I think the majority are open-minded.”

The French language is something he wants to pass on, as a treasure, to his children.

“That’s the way I want to raise my children,” he said. His four children at-

tend, or will attend, French-language schools in Kingston. Ironically, he is married to a Welshwoman, and, after living in Britain for seven years, he is now a British citizen, in part because he owns property in Wales, north of the capital city of Cardiff, which he rents out.

He still travels widely, but now it is mostly across the far-flung riding.

“I blew up the engine of my car two weeks ago,” he said with a laugh, as he was driving to the Cattail Festival in Verona. “I drove so much in this riding.”

Archambault was a director at large on the federal Liberal riding association in Kingston and the Islands. When the federal electoral ridings were redistributed, the Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox

and Addington riding added Mississippi Mills to its area – and dropped Napanee, picking up some territory north of Kingston, where Archambault lives with his young family.

“You might want to hook up with these guys and they might be looking for a new candidate,” Archambault remembers being told, as the new Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston riding association took shape. It was January 2014 and Archambault knew he was not the only Liberal game in town.

Longtime Grit organizer Phil Somers and Perth Mayor John Fenik were both weighing up runs for the nomination themselves.

It was a moment of clarity while driving home – not quite a road to Damascus moment, more of a road to Township of South Frontenac moment – that he realized that “I don’t think any of these guys would be able to beat Scott Reid,” the riding’s Conservative incumbent MP. “You have to come at him (Reid) from a different angle.”

When he arrived home, his wife Melanie told him he was crazy for considering a run.

He made a deal with her – he would attend the federal Liberal convention in his hometown of Montreal in February 2014 and “we’ll see how I feel after.”

As his wife and children visited friends elsewhere on the island, he See LIBERAL page 7

An all-candidates night on Sept. 24 in Beckwith, which was presented by the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Lanark Federation of Agriculture, attracted a capacity crowd. Pictured, from left, the four contenders vying for votes to become Member of Parliament on Oct. 19: John Fenik (NDP), Anita Payne (Green Party), Phil Archambault (Liberal Party) and incumbent Scott Reid (Conservative Party).

“Along with my colleague Randy Hillier (Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MPP), I am very dedicated to the issue of property rights,” he added.

Archambault is running because he believes in making real change.

“Real change means we need to bring co-operation back to building our economy,” he said.

“Real change means our economic future should be based on growing current businesses, right here, right now.”

With the Liberals announcing

they would commit billions to nearly double Canada’s spending on infrastructure over the next 10 years, Archambault would work hard to ensure LFK gets its fair share.

“Real change means we need to act now to protect our environment, moving our society to a more sustainable model,” he continued.

“Real change means trust and fairness in government, and most importantly, real change means accessible health care.”

Residents in the federal riding of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston (LFK) heard from the four contenders vying for votes to become the next Member of Parliament on Oct. 19.

The all-candidates meeting on Sept. 24 at Brunton Community Hall in Beckwith, which the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce hosted in partnership with the Lanark Federation of Agriculture hosted, had a full house.

Conservative Scott Reid presently holds the riding. His challengers: Phil Archambault (Liberal), John Fenik (NDP) and Anita Payne (Green Party).

It was a tame affair, with a firm format preventing any verbal banter. To get the meeting underway, each of the four candidates was given up to three minutes to make opening remarks.

It was Reid who led off, describing himself as the least partisan individual on Parliament Hill.

He pointed out his proposal to change the method by which the House of Commons Speaker is elected “earned support from all parties.”

Matters of personal interest and passion for Reid include getting defibrillators in public spaces and police cars, something he has pursued for close to 15 years.

“I am now trying to get them in police cars of the RCMP across the country,” he said, “and believe me, if that’s done, we can save 300 lives per annum.”

ed. “However, what have they achieved and what are their plans for a better Canada?”

The Green Party’s plan is based on four key commitments: sustainable economy, strong communities, good government and bold action on climate.

“This is the most important election our nation faces,” NDP candidate Fenik warned.

“The issues are substantial: senate, Bill C-51, seniors, youth, agriculture, Aboriginal peoples and climate.”

When the three-term mayor of Perth decided to run, “I saw a nation unrecognizable to me,” he continued. “I want my nation back!”

Andrea McCoy-Naperstkow, president of the Lanark Federation of Agriculture, was the night’s moderator, with Clay Spero of TD Canada Trust keeping time.

McCoy-Naperstkow asked a range of questions that were submitted in advance and received from the audience. All candidates were given one minute to answer.

LIBERAL From page 4

came to another realization: “I would like to do that.”

Now he knew he wanted to run for office. But first he had to get the nomination – which was no easy task.

His path was cleared somewhat

by Fenik, who decided he would not seek the local Liberal nomination after all – after having attended the same conference as Archambault.

But he still had to contend with Somers, a formidable opponent, who had been campaigning hard for the nomination for years.

“I came from behind,” said Archambault. There was “a lot of stress,” since “Phil Somers was way ahead of me. He had been campaigning for two years ahead of me.” He

took it one step, one door, at a time.

“I signed up more members than him,” he said.

He took his campaign for the nomination to Sharbot Lake and Perth, and even met with Fenik, asking him, “Would you consider supporting my campaign?”

Fenik did just that, throwing his support behind Archambault. On an early Archambault campaign brochure, there is even an endorsement of Archambault from Fenik – ironic since Fenik is now his NDP opponent.

“It makes a lot of people laugh,” said Archambault with a chuckle whenever he points it out. As for the nomination battle, even on voting day, “I thought it would go either way. It was a big margin,” when he

did win though, as he carried the nomination, 140 to 80.

While the party is not doing as well as it was doing a year ago in the polls, he remains hopeful.

“I do pay attention to the polls, for sure,” said Archambault. “The NDP are showing some strength in the polls.”

But he remains a true believer that his party is strongest where it counts.

“It’s the strongest platform of the three,” he says of the Liberal manifesto.

“It’s about treating people with respect…compassion, and a desire to take care of the people of this country.”

Archambault touts Trudeau as the saviour of Canada’s current third

Not surprisingly, he said that this is why he sees health care as one of the top issues in this campaign.

“It’s the caring side of things,” said Archambault. “You’ve got to care for your public service, workers, your veterans.” He sees the federal government as standing between the public and the big corporations.

“I know we are a capitalist country, but, sometimes, you need to step in when big corporations forget their corporate social responsibility,” said Archambault.

place party.

“He means business,” Archambault said of Trudeau. He remains undaunted in his support for his leader.

“Anyone who is thinking of voting NDP, I’d say, go and see Justin,” he said.

“I feel the strength, the drive… without believing in my leader, I would not be able to do what I do.”

Archambault currently works at Providence Care in Kingston as an Operation Readiness Leader, according to his campaign website. Prior to this, he worked in other healthcare advisory roles in Canada and the United Kingdom. He has worked as a management consultant for the past decade in retail, gaming, healthcare, transport, and manufacturing sectors.

Brush up on buckling up

ow is it that we’re still having an issue with people not using seatbelts? Shouldn’t it be common sense that if you enter a vehicle, you put one on?

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are in the midst of their annual fall seatbelt campaign and note that so far this year, 42 people have been killed in collisions where they weren’t wearing a seatbelt, up from 34 at the same time last year. What’s even more alarming is that in one week alone, Sept. 7 to 13, seven people in Ontario lost their lives in motor vehicle collisions. It’s been found that six of those weren’t wearing seatbelts.

Along with airbags that are equipped in many of our vehicles, according to OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, the regular use of seatbelts is the most effective way to reduce injuries in the event of a collision. It’s a simple task that should become second nature the moment we step into a vehicle. No matter which generation you grew up in, there is no reason

anyone should refrain from wearing one.

It is law and they are there for our safety.

Throughout the fall season, the OPP has charged they will be more diligent in enforcing the need to buckle up, which, under the Highway Traffic Act, is required to be done by anyone at least 16 years of age. Those younger must be belted into a car seat, booster seat or use a seatbelt, whichever is appropriate for their age, weight or height.

As the OPP recently cracked down on distracted drivers, leveling anyone caught to face a $490 fine and three demerit points, perhaps it’s time they were tougher with seatbelt offenders? Currently, a driver can receive a fine of $240 and two demerit points for seatbelt infractions, but maybe a stiffer penalty could carry more weight. It remains to be seen whether the new distracted driving legislation has scared people into putting down their food, phones and mascara wands, but if it has, it might be a good route to take on seatbelt offences.

Laundry day on the farm came with a ‘laundry’ list of procedures Nothing interfered with the Monday wash. Or for that matter, the Tuesday ironing. Monday night, after the clothes hung on the line all day, they were brought into the kitchen stiff as boards. Wrinkles were smoothed out of Father’s overalls and the boys pants, socks matched and rolled into balls, and hand towels folded just right.

Some of the laundry, like my sister Audrey’s and my blouses had a bath in a basin of water and starch before being hung on the line on Monday, and they too could stand up alone when dried out.

Before we went to bed on Monday night, Mother would put the flat irons on the reservoir at the back of the stove, just to warm them. Because once breakfast was over, the fry pan washed

and put away, the irons would be moved to the front of the Findlay Oval to get burning hot and ready for the ironing. Winter or summer, come Tuesday, the old kitchen stove had to be raging hot, or the irons would never be ready for the work ahead.

The ironing board was nothing more than a plank wrapped with a few layers of well-worn flannelette sheets and then placed between the backs of two kitchen chairs. Once everything was in place, Mother took a used vinegar bottle and filled it with wa-

ter and tucked in a stopper with holes in it.

Everything that had been starched, and the flour bag tea towels, and pillow slips, Father’s Sunday shirt were well sprinkled with the vinegar bottle water and then rolled into tight sausages and stacked at one end of the kitchen table, close to the ironing board. All the time the flat irons on the stove would be getting hot, absorbing the heat from the raging fire inside.

When I wasn’t away to the Northcote school, I loved to sit at one end of the table and watch Mother iron. There was a clamp affair with a smooth wood handle that fitted over the flat irons, and using a thumb press, Mother could change the irons when they cooled down and would no longer do the job. I thought that was

very clever indeed.

But the cleverest trick of all, I thought, was when Mother tested the iron to see if it was hot enough. She spit on the end of a finger and quickly tapped the bottom of the iron. If it sizzled, it was ready to use. If it didn’t, she

moved over to another iron on the stove and tested it the same way. She did it so quickly, she never burned her finger, which I learned one day could happen if you didn’t pay attention.

That day I was allowed to iron the tea towels. They, of course,

were rolled up in tight little sausage shapes and I laid one out flat on the ironing board, clamped the holder over an iron on the stove, spit on the end of my finger and connected with the iron.

MAG flags were displayed throughout the village and outlying areas, to point people in the right direction. The tour featured various local artists.

Of course, I wasn’t quick enough, and I was sure I had fried the end of my finger! I soon learned to barely touch the iron and to make sure there was plenty of spit before contact.

Ironing was a serious business back then. It took Mother the better part of Tuesday to complete the job. On a summer’s day, the heat in the kitchen was fierce, just to keep the irons hot on the Findlay Oval, and Mother’s face poured sweat. When it got too hot to bear, she would put the iron back on the stove, and go out to the grape arbour with a glass of water and sit for a spell...just long enough to cool down and rest her tired back. And then it was back to the

LETTER From page 9

Beckwith Township Hall (instead of polls that are within walking distance of their homes).

Another example: voters in the Pinery just east of Port Elmsley can’t vote at the advance poll unless they go to Tatlock Community Hall, a two-hour round trip away. On this drive, they will pass two advance poll locations where they are forbidden to cast a ballot. These are just two examples from a very long list of oddly-chosen poll locations.

One consequence is that voters who are unable to make it to the polls on election day have been disenfranchised

by Elections Canada. This is no small matter: In 2011, about 20 per cent of voters in this riding (9,000 voters in all) cast their ballots at advance polls.

It appears that these odd poll locations were selected by Elections Canada headquarters in Ottawa, rather than by the Returning Officer (R.O.) for this

job that consumed every Tuesday.

When the last of the ironing was done, clean, starched blouses hung on wire hangers all around the kitchen.

Father’s Sunday shirt would be on the back of a chair. The tea towels would be spread out to make sure they were perfectly dry before being put neatly in the drawer on the back-to-the-wall cupboard. Everything had to be tidied up before supper. The ironing board tucked behind the door in the summer kitchen, and the flat irons allowed to cool down on the reservoir before being put on top of the warming closet on top of the stove waiting for the next Tuesday’s day of ironing.

Mother read in the Renfrew Mercury about a new type of iron that used gas to

riding; when my campaign manager asked the R.O. to change the location of some of these polls, we were informed that this is not permitted. (However, we learned that it is possible to appeal the location of Election Day polls, which we will be doing in respect of several poll locations.)

The Canada Elections Act does provide a safety-valve for situations like this. It is lawful for any eligible voter in this riding to cast his or her ballot at the Elections Canada office at any time on or before Oct. 13 (the Tuesday preceding Election Day). The Elections Canada office is located at 40 Sunset Blvd. in Perth, opposite Lanark Lodge. This makes it a far more convenient voting location, for many of those who would otherwise be disenfranchised, than the Advance Polls to which they have been allocated.

I have therefore instructed my campaign to take the following actions to ensure that no voter is disenfranchised:

heat it. But she was having none of that.

It was enough that she worried constantly about us either freezing to death in our beds on a cold winter’s night, or meeting our Maker from a fire in the winter when the Findlay Oval was plugged to the gunnies with blocks of wood to help keep us warm. She didn’t need a gas iron that could explode and blow us all to pieces, all in the name of moving up to a modern convenience.

No siree, the old flat irons would do just fine!

In the meantime, I am sending a letter to the Returning Officer for this riding to request that he devote extra staff to dealing with the large number of voters who will wish to cast their ballots at his Perth headquarters.

Candidates From page 5

childcare, Fenik said the NDP is pushing for a Canada-wide $15a-day childcare program, with one million new daycare spaces.

Knocking on doors daily, “one mother told me that if she had subsidized daycare, it would mean one less trip to the food bank,” he said, “and the most important thing we can do for our youth is give them a good start.”

The Green Party wants to work with the provinces to develop a cross-Canada daycare strategy.

Owing to the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), Archambault said the Liberals would give families more money to help with the high costs of raising their kids.

Under the CCB, families will receive a maximum of $6,400 per year for each child under age six and $5,400 per year for children aged six to 17.

“We also have the biggest infrastructure plan that will create more daycare space,” Archambault said.

“I think the best solution is the one we have now – Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB),” Reid said.

The UCCB, first introduced in 2006 and recently expanded, provides a $160-per-month benefit for children under 6 and a $60-permonth benefit for children aged 6 through 17.

Long-gun registry The candidates were asked if their party would ever consider bringing back the long-run registry.

Payne didn’t like that it was scrapped by way of the Conservative government’s 2012 legislation. “I don’t know how you can be tough on crime and not have a long-gun registry,” she said.

The Liberal Party has no plan to bring back the long-gun registry.

“I voted against the long-gun registry,” Reid said, “so it’s only natural that I wouldn’t bring it back.”

The long-gun registry was a database overseen by the RCMP that linked firearms with their licensed owners. “I own guns,” Fenik said, “and the NDP will not be bringing back the long-gun registry.”

“Responsible gun owners look after their firearms,” he added.

Deficit Is it okay to run a government deficit and if so, for how long?

Although Reid noted the Conservatives did run a deficit from 2009 until last year, the Department of Finance reported a $5-billion surplus for the April-to-June period this year.

“We anticipate there will be surpluses into the future,” he said.

Fenik has been in municipal politics for 17 years and “all the budgets I brought in were balanced.”

“You can’t spend more than you bring in,” he added. “Reserves

and balanced budgets are good but debt is not.”

Canada has a $123-billion infrastructure deficit, according to Payne.

“With climate change, we know we are going to need to fix our roads and bridges and other infrastructure much more frequently,” she said.

“We are currently in a recession,” Archambault said. “With low interest rates, we need to invest in infrastructure.”

Coalition government “If the election produces a minority government, what is your personal opinion on a coalition government?” McCoy-Naperstkow asked.

“We are locked in a three-way race,” Fenik said, “and I think there will be a minority government.”

Personally, he would support a coalition or a minority government to move agendas forward, “and when people work together they get more things done.”

Earning laughs from the audience, Payne admitted the Green Party is not in that three-way race.

“However, Elizabeth May is certainly looking to be a power broker, helping to bring the other parties together,” she said. “We need to get things done.”

“I’ve been knocking on a lot of doors... “Anything but Conservative,” Archambault said.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has led two minority governments, Reid reminded.

Free votes The Greens allow members to vote in the best interest of themselves, and their constituents.

“The Green Party doesn’t allow whipped votes,” Payne said.

The Liberals will ensure more free votes for Members of Parliament, make government information open by default and eliminate fees associated with access to information requests. “Tom Mulcair is committed to having full caucus debate,” Fenik said.

Reid is absolutely in favour of free votes, “voting against my party on a number of occasions.”

Shouting out from the audience was Smiths Falls resident Paul Compton. “What about speaking up for my son?” he asked the incumbent.

Bill C-37, which came into effect in April 2009, caused some children of Canadian citizens to lose their citizenship. As a consequence, they also lost OHIP coverage.

Because Paul was brought to Canada from Scotland by his parents at 18-weeks-old and not physically born on Canadian soil, he can’t pass on his citizenship to his youngest son, five-year-old Mateo. However, Paul’s oldest son, Stephanoe, received Canadian citizenship shortly after his birth in 2006 (pre-legislation).

McCoy-Naperstkow asked: “As MP, how would you ensure your voice is heard in urgent matters of Canadian citizens and responded to in a timely and compassionate manner?”

The newspaper stated: “This took place due to an ongoing battle the Compton family has been waging against the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration to gain Canadian citizenship for Mateo.”

As a father of four, Archambault said children are everything, the future of the country. “When I hear your story it makes me angry,” he said. “I think we should do more.”

“Paul has worked with our office over a number of years on the subject,” Reid said, “and I have tried to advocate a reasonable legislative change to this law.”

He noted a few years ago Parliament unanimously voted in favour of cutting off citizenship at the third generation.

Reid has proposed, “Any child who has establishes residency as they would if they were born here would automatically get their citizenship.”

“When people are brave enough to come to another country, we should afford them the same benefits,” Fenik said. “There must be a minister out there who can sign a paper to make this better for Paul and others.”

Before Payne had an opportunity to answer the question, Paul stood up to “say one thing.”

Over jeers from the audience and a request from the moderator to sit down, he said: “I know I am going to get kicked out. My son is Canadian and has no health care. It is not right. We are leaving.”

Future What are the most important decisions in this country in the next four years?

For Fenik they are Bill C-51 (anti-terrorism law), the Senate and economy.

“In December, we need to be prepared to go to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris,” Payne said, “and we need to reduce the powers of the Prime Minister’s Office.”

Archambault noted the following: jobs, economy, respect for veterans, health care and the reversal of (the Conservative government’s) omnibus bills.

“Our hospital beds are full and we have an aging population,” he added. “We need a strategy.”

For Reid: aging population, sustainable health care and pension systems and economy.

Other questions posed to the candidates involved clean water, small business, Lyme disease, Temporary Foreign Worker Program and inquiry into missing and murdered Aboriginal women, just to name a few.

Reflections

By Jeff maguire

of that year Victoria passed the mark of 59 years, 96 days set by her grandfather King George III. Victoria spent a quiet family day at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Queen Elizabeth was also staying at Balmoral when she established the new mark last month.

I wasn’t even born when Elizabeth succeeded her late father. I have seen her twice in person, both during visits she made to my hometown of Ottawa.

However my wife Kathleen and I have visited most of the main royal sites in England during our many visits to the British Isles.

We go because of our love of history, not because we are monarchists.

To further clarify, we aren’t antimonarchists either and based on our own experiences we are believers in how much the royal family means to the

Opponents speak I can understand those who decry the monarchy and disapprove of the royal family because of their opulent lifestyle and because they feel taxpayers should not have to help underwrite the extravagance which accompanies their daily lives.

Because we were in the British capital on the Queen’s special anniversary we were able to watch the debates which both BBC-TV and Sky Television aired in order to lend some perspective to the day.

Those who were invited on air to criticize the monarchy made some compelling arguments. But when the BBC’s chosen critic tried to dismiss the royals’ value to the tourism industry his case fell apart. That’s because there is no case to be made.

The reality is that millions of visitors to Great Britain each year are there mainly to soak up some of the royal history and to visit and explore first-hand the historic castles and properties they occupy. In the process those people are huge contributors to the maintenance of

ancient structures which require a massive amount of annual upkeep.

I know from whence I speak because we are among them. The truth is that if it wasn’t for the history, so much of which relates to the royal family, we would not be frequent visitors to the UK. The royals themselves learned long ago that opening large parts of what was once their private world to the public is the only practical way to collect the funds needed to maintain such expensive premises. It was only in recent years that the Queen relented and allowed the public to tour Buckingham Palace, her main working palace in Central London. It is only open during August and September when the royal family take their annual summer vacation at Balmoral.

We have toured Buckingham Palace twice and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. There’s no question that being in rooms and on property where the royals spend so much time is intriguing.

During last month’s stay in England we visited two places which have special meaning to the royal family and the nation.

We took a full tour of Westminster Abbey, something we had done twice

previously. Once again it was worth every penny. Anyone who knows anything about the royal family also knows the Abbey has played a major part in their history.

It’s not only royal weddings which have taken place at Westminster Abbey through the centuries. Many kings and queens, including Queen Elizabeth I, are buried within its precincts. In fact more than 3,000 people, including statesmen, politicians, poets and playwrights are interred in the massive church or its grounds.

One of the most interesting excursions we made during our time in England last month was a day trip to Windsor where we took a lengthy and fascinating tour of Windsor Castle.

It took four separate rides (via the Underground and national rail services) to reach the town of Windsor which, itself, is an interesting place to explore. The famous castle dominates the community 30 kilometres west of London. In Berkshire it is rivaled only by the Legoland Windsor Resort, a theme park based on the famous children’s toy.

As the debate over the purpose and future of Britain’s Royal Family continues to simmer Queen Elizabeth II quietly became the longest serving monarch in the history of England and the Commonwealth on Sept. 9.

Kathleen and I were in London at the time and judging by the media hoopla it’s obvious there is still huge support for the Queen herself.

The headline on the front page of the Daily Telegraph typified the mainly positive coverage of the event. “Elizabeth II, our rock of stability for 63 years, today surpasses Queen Victoria’s record.”

The banner headline, in red ink, appeared over a large six column photo of Her Majesty, receiving official papers, which was released by Buckingham Palace to mark the occasion.

For someone who turns 90 years of age next April the Queen looks remarkably robust. Her eldest child and heir, the Prince of Wales (Prince Charles), will be 67 next month. It appears “the man who would be King” could have a very long wait!

A young Princess Elizabeth – she was just 26 – succeeded her father King George VI upon his death in 1952. Her coronation took place on June 2 the following year.

On Sept. 9 the Queen surpassed the 23,226 days, 16 hours and 30 minutes (that translates into 63 years and 216 days) that her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria served prior to her death.

Although the media blew the achievement out of all proportion the Queen herself spent the day as she has done for more than 63 years, serving the nation.

She and her consort Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh (he too is a remarkable individual at age 94), traveled from Edinburgh to Tweedbank on a steam train. Their Scottish trip marked the official opening of the new Borders to Edinburgh rail link, the longest domestic line to open in the United Kingdom in a century.

Her illustrious ancestor Queen Victoria had asked for “no fuss” when she set the previous record in 1896. On Sept. 23

MAGUIRE From page 11

Massive castle The scale of the castle is breathtaking. It sprawls across 13 acres and is the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world.

Originally built by William the Conqueror it’s been home to kings and queens for more than a thousand years.

We previously toured the castle in 1997. At that time many areas were off-limits as restoration work continued following the terrible 1992 fire which destroyed 20 per cent of the structure. At that time we could only view St. George’s Hall through a tiny porthole. The magnificent room was at the heart of the destructive blaze and suffered extensive damage.

This time, during our tour of the State Apartments, we marveled at the phenomenal job the restoration experts have done in St. George’s Hall.

The intricate ceiling design in particular is impressive. We took the audio tour and learned that the hall’s ancient floor tiles, which were heavily scorched on one side, were simply turned over and reset. That smart solution saved a major part of the original hall. Large areas of Windsor Castle have literally risen from the ashes and the effect is

quite spectacular.

If you are able to visit allow yourself plenty of time. It took us three hours to see the castle properly.

Included in the admission price (previously you had to pay extra) is a close-up look at Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, a quite amazing piece of work created for the late queen as a gift in the early 1920s. The intricate, miniature doll house has been viewed by millions over the years and has helped raise funds for the Queen’s charities.

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo and the defeat of Napoleon. There’s a special display at Windsor Castle including portraits of the main participants (the Duke of Wellington for example) along with archival material that explores the battle and its aftermath. I quite enjoyed it.

Of course no visit to Windsor Castle is complete without a tour of magnificent St. George’s Chapel.

It is the final resting place of 10 royals including King Henry VIII and Charles I. Yes, the same Charles who was beheaded in 1649 after being found guilty of treason. He’s entombed in the same vault as Henry VIII and Henry’s third wife Jane Seymour.

There is something about seeing the large engraved slab marking Henry VIII’s tomb that sends shivers up the spine. On the State Apartments tour his armour is also on view. It reveals that Henry was a giant for his time, an estimated 6’ 4” tall.

We viewed the tombs of the present Queen’s parents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

St. George’s Chapel is also the spiritual home of the ‘Order of the Garter’ the oldest British Order of Chivalry founded by King Edward III in 1348.

We visited Windsor just after the main tourist crush and on a Monday, traditionally the slowest day for most attractions. Yet it was bursting with visitors. Further testimony to how popular the Queen and the royal family continue to be.

For us, standing on the battlements of the ancient castle on a sunny afternoon enjoying the views across the River Thames, with famous Eton College in the background, was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. It’s something I highly recommend to anyone who travels to England and enjoys history!

This Week’s Pets This week’s featured pets Calvin Calvin arrived at the shelter after a surgery. Now fully recovered, he is seeking his forever home. Affectionate from the moment he arrived at the veterinarian he will make a welcome addition to any home.

Callie Callie is a sweet little tabby; a tabby cat is one which has a unique design on its coat, mainly strips, dots and whirls. They have an “M” type mark on the forehead, which is a quick identifier of a tabby cat. There is popular misconception that Tabby is a breed of cats. This is wrong.

Tabby cat is any cat which has the distinctive design. Tabby cats are cute, sharp and very intelligent.

If you would like to meet this sweet little girl, please attend the shelter at 256 Glenview Road Smiths Falls.

Blue Meet Blue, a Devon Rex cross. Blue has a unique appearance. The Devon Rex, the Pixie of the Cat Fancy, sports oversized ears on an elfin face with large impish eyes.

This adorable combination only hints at the madcap personality within – a cross, some say, between a cat, a dog, a monkey and Dennis the Menace.

Delightfully silly in both appearance and antics, Blue is interested in everything and everyone around him. His playful nature means he will easily learn tricks and will always be up for

Will Chalmers will bring his Neil Diamond tribute show, Solitary Man, to the Studio Theatre in Perth Oct. 17.

Neil Diamond tribute artist to appear at Studio Theatre Theatre goers are in for a treat on Saturday, Oct. 17, when renowned tribute artist, Will Chalmers, brings his Solitary Man tribute to Neil Diamond to the Studio Theatre in Perth.

The Canadian singer/ guitarist, from Collingwood, Ontario, has been performing his tribute to Neil Diamond for 13 years. And the enduring popularity of Diamond’s music, gives his show universal appeal.

Will Chalmers is the kind of performer who loves to get the audience clapping and singing along. And his natural resemblance to Neil Diamond, flawless replica-

tion of Diamond’s singing voice and outstanding stage presence captivates audiences wherever he goes.

The response from Neil Diamond fans is an experience to behold.

Many have difficulty accepting the fact that Will is not the famous star.

But his friendly and personable attitude makes it easy for fans to approach him and he is always happy to greet them after his performances and hear their comments. Most of all, he loves to see fans leave his shows with a smile on their faces and a song in their hearts.

Will Chalmers has traveled extensively

throughout Canada, the United States and the Caribbean, performing in theatres, casinos, convention centers, arenas, resorts and festivals. In early 2016, he will perform in Mexico, for the first time.

Solitary Man is coproduced by Trend Records Entertainment and Perth Theatre Project, operators of the Studio Theatre. Tickets to the show are $30, including all taxes and fees.

They are now on sale at Shadowfax, 67 Foster St, Perth (613-267- 6817) or online at www.shadowfax.on.ca.

AS PART OF FIRE PREVENTION WEEK, your child has been learning about smoke alarms. Working smoke alarms save lives. That’s right, having smoke alarms in your home is very important. Smoke alarms let you know there is a fire. Working smoke alarms also give you time to get outside and stay outside if there is a fire.

Follow the steps below to check the smoke alarms in your home.

DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT! The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks.

The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.

SENS EXTRA Canadian Tire Centre reveals new seating, food options Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

The Canadian Tire Centre will have about 500 fewer seats this Ottawa Senators hockey season, as the new Club Bell seats are now in place.

The luxury section – with tickets that include valet parking, food and drink – start at $10,000 a seat for the whole season. Single game tickets aren’t available in the special section, which seats 472.

The renovation changes the total capacity down to 18, 684 from 19,153.

“We think this is going to be the best location to watch a game in the entire league,” said Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder. “It’s quite a significant change.”

There are a few seating options, with larger, premium seats, and blocks called “loges”, which give customers a bar-style counter to keep food and drink on.

Leeder said the ticket sales for the Club Bell section will be gearing “pretty well all to businesses and high net-worth individuals.”

FOOD OPTIONS For fans who won’t be sitting in the new premium seeing, there are still upgrades to look forward to this season at the Canadian Tire Centre.

For those who have dietary requirements or just enjoy eating healthy, Farm Boy will open the Farm

Boy Fresh zone. Options will include wraps, salads, soups and sushi in a menu created by Jamie Urie.

The Fresh Zone will feature similar food to the pre-made food in the grocery store chain, including options for gluten-free and vegetarian diets.

“That’s part of our mandate.

Number one is being able to offer something for everybody,” Urie said.

“We’ll have vegan soups, vegetarian chilli – and of course, options for the meat lover.”

Favourite Smokes Poutinerie, which has been a popular stop during games, will also expand its presence to include a new Smoke’s Burritorie.

It will have a few unique burritos on the menu to add another food option for Sens fans.

There will also be more than quadruple the number of Tim Hortons coffee stands through the arena, as the chain has increased its presence at the facilty.

“Tim Hortons has really made a big investment and we’ve been able to expand the distribution of coffee to 14 locations, up from three last year,” said Geoff Publow, the team’s vice-president of strategic development. “The lines have become a bit legendary.”

There is also improved accessibility access with a counter that is more accommodating to fans who are in wheelchairs.

Above, new seats in the Bell Club will start at $10,000 each. That’s for a season ticket, per seat. The new section is aimed towards corporate buyers and “high net-worth individuals,” said Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder.

Right, Farm Boy is one of the new food additions for the Canadian Tire Centre in 2015. The takeout restaurant, located on the concourse accessible from the 200 and 300 level seats, will have vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food options.

Big Data for Small Places pilot project wrap-up Oct. 5 A group of rural municipalities and communitybased organizations are wrapping up a collaborative pilot project to increase their capacity to use leading-edge analytics for understanding rural community development opportunities.

“The Big Data Small Places pilot project has provided municipal staff with some valuable resources and tools to use when undertaking projects involving big data. The information learned will certainly serve municipal staff well when undertaking future projects requiring evidence-based planning and decision making,” said Diane Smithson, chief administrative officer, Municipality of Mississippi Mills.

Beach Boys movie, Norm Foster play at Station Theatre this month the pen of that most popular of Canadian playwrights, Norm Foster. Directed

by Katharine Coleman and performed by an all-star cast, the play opens on Oct. 15 and runs until its final matinee on Oct. 25.

Big Oak is a small town where everyone knows everyone else’s business. Tom Shaw (played by Hugh McCulloch) owns Millie’s Cabin in Big Oak. Orson Hubble (Jamie Schoular) is his best friend who works in the diner with him. Bev Dupuis (played by Nicki Hayes) owns the local hair salon and

Rachel Blessington (Christine Winter) is the local telephone operator who has had intimate access to all the goings on of all the locals through the phone lines.

Nothing new ever happens in Big Oak – until the day Sadie Flynn (Katharine Coleman) convicted husband murderer, comes to town on the bus. Not long after her arrival, strange things begin to happen.

When asked about her “take” on the Norm Foster play, Coleman said: “We wanted to make this play very inviting visually and emotionally. The charac-

ters are all very likable, in their own ways. Everyone will be able to pick a favourite to cheer on and to recognize in someone they know.”

Performances of the play take place at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 15, 16, 17, 23 and 24 and at 2 p.m. on Oct. 18 and 25 (matinees). Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children/students (with ID), with special group rates also available. Call the Station Theatre at 613283-0300 for details and to order by credit card. Tickets may be purchased for cash at Special Greetings, 8 Russell

Movie Nights at the Station Theatre kicks off the month with a popular musical bio-pic. Love & Mercy is a tale of love, music, betrayal and redemption as seen through the eyes of The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson. Played by two actors, Paul Dano (as the 1960s Brian Wilson) and John Cusack (as the 1980s Wilson), the movie, written by Oren Moverman and Michael A Lerner, is directed by Bill Pohlad.

Love & Mercy presents an unconventional portrait of Brian Wilson, the mercurial singer, songwriter and leader of The Beach Boys. Set against the era-defining catalog of Wilson’s music (Wilson and Tony Asher’s lyrics written back in 1966 for the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds album resonate throughout), the film intimately examines the personal voyage and ultimate salvation of the icon whose success came at an extraordinary personal cost.

The movie is told in two parts. First, it dives into the early years of the young Brian Wilson (Dano) when we see him descending into mental breakdown, revealing the creative madness that Wilson was striving for with the Pet Sounds album. By 1980, Wilson (now Cusack) is an unhappy man, heavily sedated and controlled by his shady manager/psychotherapist, Dr. Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti), who manipulates everything the elder Wilson does. Ultimately, Brian meets and falls in love with Melinda Ledbetter (played by Elizabeth Banks).

As their relationship grows, she reacts with alarm to Brian’s crippling subservience to the abusive Landy and stands up to the oppression she cannot ignore.

Screenings are on Oct. 2 and 3 at 7:30 p.m. Please note: the movie is rated 14A-substance abuse. Tickets sold only at door are $10/adults, $5/students.The Station Theatre, we remind you, is located at 53 Victoria St, Smiths Falls.

as many unknowns as possible and to chart the right retirement course for you. But every solid plan needs a solid foundation. The good news is that in this electronic age, there’s lots of information out there. The bad news is there’s also a lot of misinformation out there. So to give your plan the solid foundation it needs, let’s dispel some myths and look at some basic realities of retirement.

Myth: Financial health is most important Reality: Sure, having money definitely provides additional choices in retirement but the reality is that people tend to ‘right-size’ their retirement lifestyle in line with their financial resources.

As well, many people enjoy fulfilling and meaningful retirements without having lots of money – by volunteering, through parttime work, or other appropriate lifestyle choices.

The biggest issue is your health – poor physical or mental health removes choices whether you have money or not. So your plan should include maintaining and improving your health and knowing how health issues will be handled before they happen.

Myth: The biggest risk to your retirement income is the stock market Reality: Yes, poor investment returns early in retirement can have an impact, but avoiding the stock market by sheltering your investments in low-return vehicles such as

investments can provide the opportunity for the level of growth over the long term that can offset the effects of inflation. So, your plan should include strategies for accessing market growth while still protecting your income from the impact of a short term market turndown.

Myth: You’ll have plenty of spare time.

Reality: Experienced retirees will tell you that they have little spare time. Life tends to expand to fill up time so your plan should ensure your time fills up with things that are meaningful to you.

Myth: People work in retirement because of financial need.

Reality: Some people do work in retirement for financial reasons but many seek part-time, occasional or flexible work that provides social interaction, allows them to feel challenged, or provides a sense of accomplishment. So plan to talk to ‘working retirees’ about why they work and how they fit their retirement around it.

To eliminate all the retirement myths from your retirement realities, talk to your professional advisor about the best retirement plan for you.

What is breast cancer?

Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast. The breast tissue covers an area larger than just the breast. It extends up to the collarbone and from the armpit across to the breastbone in the centre of the chest. The breasts sit on the chest muscles that cover the ribs. Each breast is made of glands, ducts (thin tubes) and fatty tissue. Lobules are groups of glands that can produce milk.

Milk flows from the lobules through a network of ducts to the nipple. The nipple is in the centre of a darker area of skin called the areola. Fatty tissue fills the spaces between the lobules and ducts and protects them.

A woman’s breasts may feel different at different times of her menstrual cycle, sometimes becoming lumpy just before her period. Breast tissue also changes with age. Breast tissue in younger women is mostly made of glands and milk ducts, but older women’s breasts are made up mostly of fatty tissue.

The breasts also contain lymph vessels and lymph nodes, which are part of the lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system helps fight infections. Lymph vessels move lymph fluid to the lymph nodes.

Lymph nodes trap bacteria, cancer cells and other harmful substances. There are groups of lymph nodes near the breast under the arm, near the collarbone and in the chest behind the breastbone.

Cancer cells may start within the ducts (this is called ductal carcinoma) or in the lobules (lobular carcinoma). Ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer.

The information in this section is about ductal and lobular carcinomas. Other types of cancer such as inflammatory breast cancer and Paget’s disease, behave differently and may need different treatment. For more information about other types of breast cancer, call our Cancer Information Services 1 888 939-3333 or e-mail info@cis.cancer.ca.

BarnDoor Productions: An experiment that became a profession, but passion remains What began as an experiment in the winter of 1995 has grown, over the decades, from passion to profession. Perth’s BarnDoor Productions opens their 21st season this October and the passion remains as strong as ever. The company’s circumstances have changed a lot, though.

Back in those early days, BarnDoor Productions (BDP) rehearsed in the basements of cast members’ homes and in borrowed rooms at church halls. Performances happened in school gyms and legion halls. Lighting was provided by some household floodlights on hand-made two-by-four towers, while sound came from the directors’ boombox. Now, going into their 103rd production, BDP are well established at Full Circle Theatre, one they built with their own hands but which is attracting some of the biggest names in Canadian entertainment due to its excellent reputation as a warm and comfortable venue for perform-

ers and audiences alike. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the passion that BDP’s casts of community performers bring to each production.

BDP’s 103rd production, My Old Lady, is a case in point. The three-person comedy presents its performers with a unique challenge. It’s a simple show, really; there is no high drama, no scenery biting and no musical numbers. Instead, the cast is telling the simple story of a man and two women that he meets in a land that is foreign to him. That simple story, however, makes for riveting theatre and a delightful evening’s entertainment. As the play’s review in the Wall Street Journal said “Nothing especially surprising happens, any more than it does in a Mozart symphony.�

My Old Lady is a new/old comedy by American playwright Israel Horovitz. Horovitz is a sort-of odd duck among American playwrights: he never made

Broadway his main home. Instead, his plays have been premiered all over the world and in many places in the U.S. outside of the Great White Way. My Old Lady first opened in Germany and, after seeing a production of it in Russia, Horovitz was moved to create a substantially re-written movie version of it, which happened in 2014 and starred Kevin Kline, Dame Maggie Smith and Kristen Scott Thomas.

From that, Horovitz re-wrote the play and this new, 2015 version is the one that BDP will be presenting. This will be the Canadian premiere of the new edition of the script.

My Old Lady will run Oct. 16, 17, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25 but in the meantime there is plenty of excitement at Full Circle Theatre in the form of a one-woman show on Oct. 3. Tales She Tells is a collection of stories and reminiscences by Toronto-based performer Tess McManus about her Irish roots. With a Celtic

harp accompaniment by Susan Toman, it’s a show that has been performed to acclaim across much of Canada, including at the National Arts Centre, and now makes a brief landing in Perth.

Tickets are available exclusively through TicketPlease, 39 Foster Street, Perth, www.ticketsplease. ca.

On a side note, BarnDoor Productions’ new adaptation of the classic mystery thriller Gaslight, originally written by Patrick Hamilton and which had a hugely successful run at Full Circle back in 2014, will be making its Toronto debut in the first two weeks of October, as Stage Centre Productions brings the show to life. The new version of

the script trims the show from three acts to two and makes it accessible to modern audiences and for a script created by a small eastern Ontario community theatre to make it to Toronto speaks volumes about its quality.

After My Old Lady, the action gets fast and furious at Full Circle, with Film Night International continuing their bi-weekly series of international cinema, Charles MacPhail presenting well-known Canadian performer Bob Bossin in his one-man show, Davy, The Punk on Oct. 30, BarnDoor’s new farce Snowed Under debuting on Nov. 27 and one of the most recognized names in Canadian music, SÊan McCann (seen recently on CTV) bringing his solo na-

tional tour to Full Circle Theatre on Dec. 13. That’s just the tip of the iceberg, as Full Circle Theatre already has more than 110 events lined up and more coming in.

Information on all the events at Full Circle Theatre, including tickets for BarnDoor Productions, is available at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

BarnDoor Productions, Perth’s original community theatre, has grown in 21 seasons from an initial step toward a goal to a fulltime profession, but you can be sure that, if you drop in to see a show at Full Circle Theatre, you will also see, in full bloom, the passion that has driven it.

Program offers generous subsidies to landowners thinking about planting trees Forests Ontario and its planting partners remind landowners that now is the most opportune time for planning spring planting activities. Landowners that might be considering conservation projects on their properties should think about tree planting as a way to increase the value of their properties while contributing to a healthy environment.

As a landowner you may be eligible to participate in a generous tree planting incentive program delivered by Forests Ontario. Landowners with a minimum of 2.5 acres (one hectare) of land may qualify for the program.

“Plan before you start,” explains forester Wade Knight. “Whether you are looking to plant a few trees or 1,000 trees, protect your investment by planning your tree planting project carefully.

A successful planting project requires a properly prepared site; good planting stock; tree species matched to the site and soils; and a plan to care for the

seedlings after planting. Luckily, Forests Ontario connects landowners with the tools, expertise and resources to ensure success and make planning as convenient as possible.”

Forests Ontario will connect you with a local agent who will work with you to find the best solution for your property.

Planting windbreaks, stream edges or marginal land can improve your farm operation. Simple hedgerows can have benefits for both crops and wildlife.

Planting trees on your property helps fight climate change, increase wildlife habitat, improve water conservation, increase property values, and leave a legacy for future generations.

The 50 Million Tree Program is designed to make the tree planting process as easy as possible for Ontario’s landSubmitted photo owners. Through the program, landownForests Ontario is urging landowners thinking about planting trees in ers are able to access subsidies covering up to 85 per cent of total planting costs the spring to start their site planning this fall. The 50 Million Tree proas well as practical support and ongoing gram offers subsidies to make the process easier.

forest management assistance.

You can improve your property through tree planting and help Ontario plant 50 million trees by 2025. Find out more about the 50 Million Tree Program at www.forestsontario.ca or contact our forestry operations co-ordinator, Stephanie Burns, at 1-877-646-1193 ext. 222 or at info@forestsontario.ca.

Apply this fall to begin planting next spring.

Forests Ontario administers the Ontario government’s 50 Million Tree Program, part of the United Nations Billion Tree Campaign. The United Nations’ goal is to plant one billion trees worldwide each year. Ontario is committed to plant 50 million trees by 2025.

The 50 Million Tree Program is designed to significantly reduce the costs to landowners of large-scale tree planting and thereby increase the number of trees planted across the province.

Pregnancy, labour and delivery support for young women, families in Lanark County The following is the next installment in a bi-weekly series on Connections, which offers a range of valuable services to Lanark County families.

Connections Program for families is a non-profit agency which is part of Lanark Community Programs, (part of Lanark Renfrew Health & Community Services). It is proud to offer a continuum of prenatal and postnatal support services to families in our community.

Beginning this continuum is the Birth Companion program, unique and valued here in Lanark County. Its purpose is to support young women, or young women and their partners, through their pregnancy, labour and delivery.

Every step of the way a trained volunteer from our community supports the family and the arrival of the baby.

The Birth Companion program began in 1995. Today we have a total of 17 volunteers exclusive to this program. Our Birth Companions range in age and experience and come from all over the county.

All volunteers apply and are asked to provide three solid references. A police vulnerability/ criminal records check is done and an interview takes place.

When the new volunteers have been accepted into the program, they go through an extensive training process. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: confidentiality, teen pregnancy, effective communication, stages of labour, labour comfort techniques, infectious disease control and breast feeding. An explanation of what Connections does and its philosophy is reviewed, and current community resources are shared.

Volunteers are then matched with the young women in their community. Participants have been matched as early as 4 weeks pregnant and as late as just prior to labour. Birth Companions and Participants spend time throughout the pregnancy doing a variety

of things together. Accompaniment to a doctor or ultrasound appointment or prenatal classes is very common. Participants always appreciate it when the Birth Companion helps get the nursery ready or finds second hand baby items. Matches often go for a walk or share a coffee at Tim Horton’s. Mostly it’s an ear to listen and knowing there is someone in the community they can count on.

Birth Companions are encouraged to do a birth plan (provided) with their match, reviewing what the women/partner want and hope for during delivery and after. The Connections volunteer facilitator checks in on a bi-weekly schedule with each volunteer, offering support and guidance. She is available by phone throughout the match at any time. The facilitator also checks in with the participant, making sure her needs are always being met.

Our volunteers are excited when they can attend a birth.

Some of our volunteers have attended more than 30 deliveries.

At times, participants have requested the same match for all of their children. Deliveries are always different, natural births, assisted births, caesarean sections, home births and even a birth in an ambulance! Statistics show when a woman has good support during labour and delivery, birth outcomes improve, resulting in fewer interventions and labours resulting in caesarean sections.

Our volunteers have had incredible experiences attending a family’s birth. The Birth Companions feedback has been very

positive: “It was beautiful”, “I cried with the mom”, “She did an amazing job”, and “Dad did a great job supporting his partner.”

Participants comments received: “She was so supportive”, “She helped so much with my appointments”, “Amazing”, “She was there for me when my partner wasn’t”, “She had me for dinner with my son and baby”, “She gave me hope for my future”, “ I was so scared, she made me feel safe” and “She stuck up for me.”

One father told us “She helped me help my partner get through the labour and delivery.”

Birth Companions can become a lifeline for these women and for the families. Although matches technically end at six weeks, often they continue indefinitely. We have stories of Birth Companions becoming godparents and/or becoming part of the extended family.

Our goal at Connections is to provide support to families during their pregnancies and in the healthy growth and development of their young children. This is a co-operative effort involving the family, agency services and the community.

Connections is a very unique agency. We offer not only a variety of support but a progression of support. Participants can move from program to program as their child develops or they can use more than one program at a time.

All participation is voluntary, free and is parent directed. Our programs are run throughout Lanark County and our Good Food for a Healthy Baby program is also run in Leeds-Grenville.

Our slogan at Connections is Real Help...Right Here...Right Now. If you know of a young family who are pregnant or have young children, please do not hesitate to refer them to Connections. We are here to help. Please call for more information about our programming or if you are interested in becoming a volunteer: 613 257-2779 ext. 100 and ask for Leigh.

Maureen Hampton is a staff member at Connections.

Benefit dance Saturday for Mel’s Farm volunteers who lost pets, contents in fire Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

Melissa Beaupre lost two pets in a fire this month. She said she has never felt the pain like that in her lifetime.

She blames herself for the Sept. 6 fire that started in her Ottawa apartment that claimed the lives of her two rescue cats, despite efforts of firefighters to save them.

She and her boyfriend, Benjamen Dow, both 26, were living in the basement apartment of a building on Pinecrest Road when she left a pot on the stove simmering with water to clean the lids of travel mugs. Beaupre said she forgot to shut off the stove before leaving the apartment to go to Walmart to help Dow’s mother buy a new cell phone.

In the almost three hours they were gone, smoke had filled their home and fire had started in the kitchen.

“Pain and guilt,” she said of how she reacted upon coming home. “As I knew the second I saw the smoke that it was our fault.”

Born and raised in Smiths Falls, Beaupre had only moved to Ottawa last summer to attend Algonquin College where she enrolled in general arts and science, concentrating in pre-health sciences.

They have been together since February, 2012, but only lived together since August, 2014.

Beaupre rescued her cat, Sixx, from Smiths Falls, “when he followed me home from work one night.”

She said he was flea infested and had injured his leg.

That’s when Melanie Young of Mel’s All Animal Rescue offered to help Beau-

pre with the vet bills associated with getting little Sixx on the mend.

“My mother was telling (Young) about the cat I brought home to my apartment and was spending a fortune on vetting to get him better,” Beaupre said. “Mel was bartending at the Shipwreck (now CC’s on the Rideau in Rideau Ferry) at the time and with her owning a rescue she offered to help me. Ben needed volunteer hours for a class he was in and offered to volunteer for Mel... I decided to volunteer with him and a few months later when the volunteer coordinator position opened up Ben and I jumped at it.”

Sixx became the love of her life in the two short years she’d had him. He was a handsome tabby with a white chest.

Emergency responders worked on the amazing job with taking care of our fur cats for about 15 to 20 minutes perform babies.”

Perhaps a bright light to this otherwise sad tale was the fact that Beaupre and Dow were able to save their 13-yearold bearded dragon.

“He was puffed up and black when the fire fighters gave him to us, but he quickly shed his skin and began eating again about a week ago. He’s currently being looked after by friends until we can move back home,” she said.

Beaupre said the firefighters did an amazing job salvaging pictures of her great-grandfather and their diplomas and certificates, as well as other small sentimental items.

“We were not allowed in the building until the next day and I was not prepared for what I saw,” she said.

“Everything was black. If it wasn’t fire or water damaged it was smoke damaged. It looked like a nightmare… something out of a horror movie. It was creepy and smelled awful. Because its technically a chemical fire due to the rubber and plastic burning we were told we need to throw everything out as furniture will absorb the dangerous carcinogens and we will eventually get sick from them. We did manage to salvage a chunk of clothes and sentimental (items) from my deceased great grandparents.”

Beaupre said there was about $70,000 damage to the building, which is a triplex. The middle apartment was vacant, and smoke damaged. On the top level lived a couple who were not home at the time, and all of their pets survived. Their dog was rescued by a firefighter. A rabbit and fish were recovered after the fire truck showed up.

“They are currently staying in a hotel their insurance is paying for. Most of their belongings need to be replaced as smoke damaged a lot of it. The upstairs apartment also had smoke damage and is

having the floors replaced on top of being painted and professionally cleaned,” Beaupre said.

The top level apartment just needs to be professionally cleaned. We are told we can stay in the middle unit while the basement apartment is being renovated but it will not be ready until at least Thanksgiving weekend. The basement apartment won’t be ready until November/December.”

Dow and Beaupre are currently camped out on the living room floor of her best friend’s place.

“We are… sleeping on a mattress on the floor in their one bedroom apartment downtown Ottawa. Our landlord is being very wonderful to us during this time though.”

They did not have content insurance.

They are struggling to cover unforeseen costs, such as an increase in rent, having to pay for laundry service and even more of a hydro bill once they move into a more expensive unit.

This is where Young has stepped in to help once more. There will be a benefit dance on Oct. 3 at her restaurant, CC’s on the Rideau.

“We are forever grateful to Mel for opening her business, her time and her heart to us,” Beaupre said. “She is such a hardworking selfless person and the amount of support she gives us (not just through this hard time but on a regular basis in day to day life) is so touching.

We are very thankful to have Mel in our lives and fully support all of her beliefs and endeavours.”

The dance will feature Southbound, and will start at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and include a midnight buffet and a chance to win some great prizes. A free taxi shuttle will be available to Perth and Smiths Falls throughout the evening.

bring a formal resolution forward to the next council session asking for clarity on the county’s decision and what the total station service area is. Staff at the ambulance base confirmed for the Record News this week that the service boundary runs from Port Elmsley to Franktown to Dwyer Hill Road to Frankville including the Town of Smiths Falls.

“This council and the community should understand what the rationale is,” said Malcolm Morris, CAO for Smiths Falls.

The Town of Smiths Falls contracts Lanark County Ambulance Service to provide life-saving services to its residents at an annual cost of about $420,000, according to Janet Koziel, treasury assistant.

During the Sept. 23, 2015 corporate services committee meeting of county council, the Request for Proposals (RFP) document was discussed to stipulate that the new ambulance base for the Smiths Falls area be built in Lanark County.

Morris points out since the town operates as an independent municipality “That, by extension, excluded the Town of Smiths Falls.”

In his presentation to corporate services at the Sept.

23 meeting, the county’s senior financial analyst, Kevin Wills, recommended the base go “anywhere within the geographic boundaries of the Town of Smiths Falls, Drummond/North Elmsley or Montague, within a five kilometre radius of Smiths Falls Town Hall.”

The amendment to remove Smiths Falls, which was moved by Sharon Mousseau (Beckwith) and seconded by Klaas Van Der Meer (Montague), is the most current in a long line of debates and discussions around the proposed new ambulance base. Morris noted that on Sept. 9, 2015 a new RFP was introduced for discussion after county council cancelled the previous one in June. At that time the RFP stipulated that the base had to be within 5 km of town hall in Smiths Falls.

“That essentially opened up parts of Montague and Drummond North-Elmsley,” Morris reports.

Town councillors were left looking for a reason for this most recent shift. Morris noted he didn’t believe the move was based on a recommendation from county staff.

Be a donor.

It’s that easy to change someone’s life.

For Patti Marks, though, it isn’t that easy.

She’s looking for her third donor kidney after being diagnosed with renal reflux in the mid1980s. She’s had two kidneys since she was diagnosed in her mid-20s, while working at a plant in Smiths Falls.

“I worked at Beaches and I just kept passing out,” she said, prior to her guest speaking appearance at the Perth’s fifth annual Kidney Walk on Sunday, Sept. 27.

By the time doctors had diagnosed her, she had already lost one kidney.

“They couldn’t find it,” she said of the doctors who X-rayed her. “It has shrunken… now I don’t have either kidney.”

Marks received her first donor kidney from a cadaver, which never worked. The second transplant was about a year later and only lasted four years.

“I am celebrating my 30th anniversary – but not of marriage, of dialysis,” she said.

“I have a different type of antibodies so it’s harder to find a match. I didn’t want to ask any of my family members (she is one of 12) because I didn’t want them to have to go through this.”

She’s now on the Ottawa transplant list, after having been on the Kingston waiting list for some 25-plus years.

“She has such an upbeat and positive attitude,” said her niece, Cindy Rivington, who donated her kidney to her husband John Rivington six years ago.

“We’re going great,” she said of the pair’s

health. “There are three of us in the family… one “I suspect we will be well over $11,000 once we she said. “And there will be money coming in over waiting for a donor, one who has donated and one count all the money from the silent auction items,” the next few days.

Perhaps that’s not a commonality they want to share, but they do so with a positive attitude.

Staff at the Smiths Falls hospital can now better get to the heart of the matter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or, at least, see the heart, and all other vital organs, thanks to new diagnostic imaging equipment which has just been pressed into service.

The Smiths Falls Hospital Foundation donated $300,000 to the Smiths Falls site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital on Wednesday, Sept. 23, bringing the hospital three-fourths of the way towards the new equipmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $400,000 price tag.

The new equipment means doctors, nurses and other staff can see â&#x20AC;&#x153;far superior images and nearly instant images within three to four seconds,â&#x20AC;? explained Donna Adam, charge technologist. The equipment has been in operation since Tuesday, Sept. 8.

As an added bonus, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the equipment moves around the patient, instead of the other way around.â&#x20AC;?

It also goes closer to the ground for shorter patients and â&#x20AC;&#x153;it can carry up to 700 pounds., of weight too,â&#x20AC;? said Adam. Further to this, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it uses far less radiation.â&#x20AC;?

Future planning discussions Nicole McKernan, town planner will be bringing reports forward to discuss a variety of innovative planning concepts and their potential application in town. The first is called tactical planning or tactical urbanism where a new design option is installed temporarily in the community to gauge community feedback and help form design guidelines.

“We need to start looking at planning that combines both art and science,” McKernan said.

Another future discussion for council will be human rights in planning. Just as in the group home example of last year, council can’t disallow development from moving forward based on persons or type of use. In the case of the group home it went to the courts and the communities with such wording in their bylaws were asked to amend them, which Smiths Falls did.

“A methadone clinic at the end of the day is no different than a dentist office,” McKernan said by way of example.

First Monday of every month is Seniors’ Day!

Submitted photo

Joann and Dr. Hugh Lafave have enjoyed nearly 60 married years together. The Elgin-based couple will be highlighted Oct. 1 at a National Seniors Day event at the Chateau Laurier for their commitment to a medical trial for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Joann has been living with the memory disorder for many years. the possibility of future advancements.

“It makes a contribution to our knowledge base,” Lafave said.

The couple has spent almost 60 years of marriage life travelling through North America helping others by offering health care services, but now it is Joann who needs the help.

Lafave said they consciously built their lives in five-year intervals, never staying in a position any longer but moving on to the next exciting adventure.

“We were always on the move,” he said.

The couple began their married lives together in a small Saskachewan town where Joann was able to recruit two nurses from her Moose Jaw nursing school to move back with her to serve the local hospital. At that time, Lafave was working 18 to 20 hours a day as a general practitioner and the couple felt more family time was needed if they were going to start their family. So they moved to Boston where Lafave specialized in psychology and neurology and embarked on welcoming what would become three children.

“She was just blown away by Boston,” Lafave said.

It was just six years later that Saskachewan called them back home where Lafave had an opportunity to manage the mental hospital service in the new medicare system health care colleague, Tom Douglas has recently implemented.

Following this extremely interesting experience, the doctor was recruited by American Vice President Nelson Rockefeller to work with him while he campaigned to be the next President of the United States of America.

“It was never dull,” Lafave said.

Throughout all their travels Joann was his partner through and through, and someone who always adapted to a changing circumstance. The pair learned Joann was blind in one eye 20 years ago

when the couple was playfully challenging each other in a race to see who could read the eye chart in their doctor’s office faster. Joann changed eyes to continue the race and the chart turned to darkness.

This realization didn’t stop her. Lafave said his wife’s vision in the remaining eye was so sharp she was able to carry on with little hassle. Then shortly after her 70th birthday she came downstairs to announce she had lost all of her vision.

Again, Joann’s warrior spirit kicked in and she was able to regain about 30 per cent of peripheral vision, which she still puts to good use today.

“She’s able to do quite a bit with that,” Lafave said.

This can-do spirit has come in handy with her current challenges in dealing with her memory disorder.

Her background in nursing and understanding of the power of the human body has been a significant tool in her coping arsenal.

Joann’s condition effects her short term memory, so if there is a new location she must add into her schedule she persuades her nurses to guide her there about 30 times in a two-day period.

Lafave explains his wife knew this kind of repetition would move the directions from her short-term memory to her mid-term memory, which is not impacted by the illness. To keep fit she walks 15km a day.

“She just goes constantly,” her husband said.

Joanne’s ability to change to her new reality will likely serve her well for many years to come.

Lafave has survived 117 separate serious hospitalizations in his life and doesn’t expect to outlive his life partner, though neither is he concerned for her after he’s gone. He points to his three children, grand children and many close friends who will likely pull together to support his wife when he’s gone.

When Alzheimer’s attempted to shatter a local couple’s life together, a clinical trial on a new medication seems to have slowed down the onset.

“This is unheard of. Alzheimer patients don’t get better,” said Dr. Hugh Lafave whose wife, Joann, has been living with the memory disorder for several years.

Their success in fighting back against the illness will be highlighted Oct. 1 at the Bruyere Life Changing Breakfast at the Chateau Laurier in honour of National Seniors Day. The Elgin area couple is looking forward to attending the Thursday event and publically thanking the many doctors and nursing staff who have helped them along this journey.

“We’re so appreciative of all the people that we’ve dealt with at the memory clinic,” said Dr. Lafave. “They’re just fantastic.”

The couple was living in Albany, New York when Lafave made the difficult diagnosis that his wife was suffering from a memory disorder. He had diagnosed his mother-in-law, who also lived with the condition until her death at the age of 103. The diagnosis was made easier since his wife has spent a career nursing.

“She knew she was having trouble,” Lafave said.

Immediately after his diagnosis, he researched programs and decided the clinic in Ottawa was the best place for his wife. They were glad to be connected to Dr. Guzman who accepted Joann as a patient and entered her into the medical trial at the Elizabeth Buyere. Joann has been involved in the medical trial for six years now and for the last four has experienced some improvement in her memory.

Lafave said the most improvement is seen immediately after she receives the IV injection of medication once a month. The positive effects tend to fade away the further from the injection date, but he is optimistic continued scientific efforts are making progress.

“There’s a reasonable possibility that we might see more ways of dealing with the illness in the next few years.”

Dr. Andrew Frank, the lead physician in the trials confirmed in an email interview that preliminary results have shown that the medication may slow down progression of the disease, but that more information will be available next year.

“More benefit is gained if the treatment is started earlier,” Frank noted.

He said there is a chance a prescription for this trial medication could be available by 2017 if the study shows it to be beneficial. The clinical trial has been extended another two years.

Participation in the trial requires the couple to drive once a month nearly two hours one way to treatment in downtown Ottawa, but Lafave said he and his wife do it gladly for the benefits she sees and

Commuter train consortium will announce insurance provider shortly sroy@perfprint.ca

When Mobility OttawaOutaouais Systems and Enterprises (mOOse) Inc. formally announces their insurance provider in the next few weeks they will have met one of the Transport Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirements and be positioned to move into its feasibility study this coming spring.

The $5 million feasibility plan will be undertaken in conjunction with negotiations with underwriters and the National Capital Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Federal Land Use Application process, which are underway or beginning shortly.

Joseph Potvin, president and general manager of mOOse Inc. assured Smiths Falls councillors at the Sept.

28 committee meeting that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on track to meet the projected 2017 service launch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite ambitious but the tracks are there,â&#x20AC;? Potvin said. mOOse is a private sector proposal that seeks to link the communities from Wakefield to Smiths Falls with a reliable 400 km commuter train service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambitious I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting,â&#x20AC;? remarked Coun. John Maloney.

Potvin said business partners in the consortium will be meeting Oct. 2 to formally sign the agreement to move forward.

The private business consortium asked Smiths Falls to pass a resolution that would allow town staff and councillors to travel out of province for mOOse meetings (as some may be held in Quebec), be open to the regional concept, and finally

Chris Cummings.

Potvin notes many of the 15 municipalities involved in the routes have official plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do need to know about them if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to take them into account,â&#x20AC;? Potvin said.

He insists mOOseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service will be complementary to the existing Ottawa and Gatineau transportation plans so that maximum value is created.

Potvin noted each of the 15 municipal stations will be treated as their own business and will have difference service agreements with mOOse.

Letter to the Editor

Reader says needle injury could happen to any child DEAR EDITOR:

As the mother of the child involved in the needle injury at Chimo Elementary School, I want to thank Chimo staff for how they handled the situation. They really did go above and beyond for my son after he got hurt. He was never afraid and even referred to his evening at the hospital as “fun.” I would call it more nightmarish. From afternoon recess to hospital room, my eight-year-old son was now getting baseline blood work done to determine his infection status after being stuck with a needle while at school.

We had to wait to hear back from a specialist at CHEO as to whether or not to proceed with antiviral medications that, though would help prevent HIV/ AIDS, would make my son very sick for weeks, or longer.

The decision to only vaccinate against Hep B, (which was not covered

by OHIP) came as a relief, sort of. The following three days were filled with worry. The antivirals used to prevent HIV are most effective if started within 72 hours of potential transmission.

As a concerned parent, armed with Google, I came close a few times to getting another opinion in those three days.

The consequences of not doing the right thing could change my son’s life forever. I’m glad I trusted the doctor, but I wish I would have had more time to do that. We can handle situations much better when we’ve had time to think it

over. Then, if it ever happens, you may not be so caught off guard.

I would like all parents out there to take a second and consider what they might do if their child pricked themselves on a hypodermic needle with an unknown user while at school. Would you consider antiviral medications for your child? Would it be covered by your insurance? Could you afford it if not?

The school (board) however, continues to minimize my child’s injury by referring to it as the “incident today where a student found a syringe,” said by prin-

cipal, Carole Dufort on the school’s Facebook page, and “the incident of the discovery of the needle,” said by the school’s Parent Council to this newspaper. This was a needle injury at an elementary school. Dressing that situation up with words that don’t accurately caution parents to the fact that this can happen to their child, (in my opinion) is just irresponsible.

Sincerely, Kelley Denham Smiths Falls

kicked out my feet and felt nothing. I had been expecting to feel wood and insulated fabric.

Instead, only empty air and space. A void where I had expected to find substance.

I began to look around.

My wife, noticing my befuddlement, leaned in and whispered in my ear.

“It’s a United Church,” she said.

“They don’t kneel.”

I was brought up as a Roman Catholic, attending St. Joseph’s elementary and St. Augustine secondary schools in Brampton, Ont., but, this past Sunday evening, I found myself in the pews of MacKay United Church in Ottawa’s New Edinburgh neighbourhood.

An acquaintance of my wife, Peter Woods, had left his posting as the pastor at Smiths Falls’ Trinity United, and was taking up his new position.

She admired him in that, when she first started reporting in this area in 2002, he made a point of welcoming her – something that stuck with her, helped her out with her jitters, and which she has since paid forward, every chance she gets.

We were there for his ceremony welcoming him to his new church. Now, for whatever reason, I had never laid eyes on Rev. Woods before. We entered the church, and I was bemused to see that we had walked into the middle of a jazz concert, an interlude of sorts, before the main event at 7 p.m. Not something I was used to seeing at St. Mary’s Catholic Church growing up.

One man was really giving it his all on his saxophone, another on piano (the latter was Dr. James McGowan, I later discovered, from Carleton University’s faculty). As we took our seats, my wife noticed my expression, and took delight in informing me, pointing to the saxophone player: “That’s Peter Woods. He’s an accomplished jazz musician.”

(It brought to mind a scene from The Muppet Movie (1979), in which Fozzy and Kermit see Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem for the first time, playing in an old church, Trinity Memorial.

Hearing their far-out, groovy tunes, far removed from hymns like “Ave Maria” or “Amazing Grace”, Fozzy turns to Kermit and says, “They don’t look like Presbyterians to me.” Extra religious joke in that scene: The notice board outside the church recommends that lost souls turn to Rev. Harry Krishna.)

As best as I can remember, I didn’t

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says attend a Protestant service until 2010, when I went to the welcoming ceremony for Pat Martin, the then new pastor at St. Paul’s Anglican church in Almonte, for a story in the Canadian-Gazette. I was amazed to hear one of the clergy say that worshipers could kneel – or was it stand? – if they so chose.

“Hmm,” I thought. “I didn’t know we had a choice in the matter.”

I attended a service at Bethel United Church outside of Rideau Ferry this past summer, again for another story, this time for The Perth Courier. The singing was beautiful, and it was a very folksy, grassroots service, down-to-earth. The church was the spiritual home to possibly generations of both farmers and cottagers, and the church social afterwards consisted of food made by the church ladies, mostly left-overs from a 90th birthday party that week (it’s a sin to waste food, after all…)

But I do admit that, at the halfway point, I looked around and wondered, having consulted my watch, “So, this is lovely, but, when do we get to communion? We haven’t even done the sign of peace yet.”

Then it hit me. To borrow a phrase from The Simpsons, no booze or bread at this church service.

A former youth reporter for The Catholic Register, I tend to see stories in churches where more secular reporters might not. I always like to interview new priests and reverends who take up posts in towns I cover. You’d be amazed at what you uncover. One of my favourites was of Rev. Sean Kim, at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian in Perth, of his estrangement with his father in South Korea because of his conversion to Christianity – and their eventual reconciliation. His dad even converted on his death bed.

The prodigal son, it seems, is not just a bible story.

Another hidden gem came in 2011, with the story of Canada’s former ambassador to Belgium becoming the interim Anglican minister in Franktown.

Last week, however, I found myself at Calvary Christian Academy, speaking See COLUMN page SF9

with Gus Olsthoorn, from Creation Ministries International. An aircraft maintenance engineer for 39 years, he was a very bright, pleasant guy, and was trying to use science to prove creationism.

As a reporter first and always, I listened with my obligatory skepticism, seeing his point on some things, respectfully challenging or questioning what he said at other times.

But it was something his wife, Debi, said to me before the speech that touched a nerve with me. I was telling her and Gus that I had just interviewed the new Anglican minister at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Perth, Kenneth Davis, and that this was my second article that week with a religious tie-in.

“Maybe someone is trying to tell you something,” she said.

It niggled me so badly, that I almost turned the van – but I think I already knew.

At Reverend Woods’ ceremony, his old teacher, Dr. Douglas J. Hall, emeritus professor of Christian theology in the faculty of religious studies at McGill University in Montreal, gave a

moving oration. Sounding not unlike Donald Sutherland, the Order of Canada winner said that the church is in crisis because its faith has been handed down for centuries. It was made the state religion, in a sense, after the conversion of the Emperor Constantine in 312 AD, and, as people were born into the faith, they just accepted it, without question. They did not have the zeal of the convert. Since the end of the Second World War, many have left, not knowing what they were leaving behind.

They couldn’t know what they were leaving behind, since they never really knew what they had to start with.

I know all too well the feeling of a crisis of faith, and of suddenly, after decades of finding comfort in the faith I was born in, casting about, following a cascade of questions.

Just before the death of my best friend Eamonn O’Loghlin in 2013, I began to feel the spiritual wheels come off, slowly at first.

One moment, suddenly, it was as though someone pulled the plug, and all I had once known drained away. I felt cast adrift, with no guiding light, only darkness. Ea-

monn’s death did not help – in fact, it exacerbated the estrangement. I did not rail against God for his death – he had some serious health problems – but I had quite a few questions, which I felt were met with deafening silence.

I read a book on atheism by the late Christopher Hitchens, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything (2007), and the chasm widened.

Two years have since passed, and I don’t know where my path is leading me now.

It’s not darkness now. That has lifted somewhat. But I compare it to waking up early on a summer morning in the woods. Fog is everywhere. You know it is morning. It’s not hot, but neither is it frigid. You can see a little bit of the way in front of you, but not by much, maybe to the nearest grove of trees. There is silence.

You know there is sunlight somewhere. You know there is light, but darned if you can see it, though you may feel a bit of it. So you walk on, thinking of that which is important to you, taking it all, or, at least, that which you can see.

And you wait for the light to

The rock star Noel Gallagher, interviewed on Irish television in 2012, said that he saw the same joy in the face of his wife and

her religious family, and wished he could partake of it himself. So where does the path lead now?

I don’t know. I can’t stop asking questions, or, to borrow one of my late mother’s expressions, “Using the brain God gave you.”

I’ll return to the Muppets and Kermit witnessing Fozzy bomb on stage.

“This guy’s lost,” he says, to no one in particular. A waiter overhears and tells Kermit, “Maybe he should try Hare Krishna.”

“It’s a running gag.”

Former Smiths Falls town councillor, Gerry Huddleston’s trial begins Ashley Kulp

Two days into the Gerry Huddleston trial saw details start to emerge in the theft case surrounding the former Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor (AGH/FVM) Foundation executive director.

The trial began Sept. 23 at the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth with Crown prosecutor Robert Corbella, assisted

by OPP Detective Constable Sonya Oleinikow, attempting to prove 58-yearold Huddleston stole $4,000 from the foundation and tried to pass off a forged deposit record as though it were genuine, to Bank of Montreal’s (BMO) Almonte branch manager Theresa Keil. Following an OPP investigation, Huddleston was formally charged back on Dec. 2, 2014 and has pleaded not guilty on both counts.

Presiding over the case is Justice Peter Wright and defending Huddleston is Carleton Place lawyer Craig Rogers.

On the first day the court learned the missing $4,000 funds were part of the proceeds from an Air Canada gift card raffle the Almonte Shoppers Drug Mart was organizing, included in a $10,000 commitment as title sponsor of the AGH/FVM Foundation’s Mississippi Mills River Run fundraiser, held Sept.

6, 2014.

The Crown’s first witness, Shoppers Drug Mart assistant manager Robert Plunkett, detailed how he called AGH/ FVM Foundation development coordinator Carolyn Piche on Sept. 2, 2014 to arrange delivery of the first installment from the raffle, a little over $4,000.

He said he “went to the hospital and handed the funds over to Carolyn.” Both parties counted the money and signed the envelope in which Plunkett had brought the money, so he could take it back to Shoppers as an acknowledgement of receipt.

Of particular note, the $4,000 was made up of small bills – four $50 bills, 185 $20s, nine $10 bills and two $5s – which Plunkett estimated was “a fiveinch high stack of bills by the time we were finished (counting) it. There was no change.”

Afterwards, he said he left with the signed envelope.

The next witness, Piche, who began working at the AGH/FVM Foundation in July 2014, recounted how she prepared the funds for deposit at BMO. She noted creating deposit records for donations was part of her regular duties, however, only Huddleston had signing authority to deposit funds into the two bank accounts, a general one and another specifically for lottery funds, which is where she directed the $4,000 in question to be deposited.

Piche said she prepared an electronic deposit sheet (numbered 2135) for the $4,000, dated Sept. 2. “I printed it (sheet) out and my habit was to wrap the cash in an elastic band, paper clip any cheques, connect the two together and then take the deposit sheet, put the money inside, fold it in half and put that into the bank book,” she said.

sFormer Smiths Falls town councillor, Gerry Huddleston’s trial began this week. Huddleston is facing theft and forgery charges regarding allegations that surround his former position at the Almonte General Hospital Foundation. Above, is the entrance to the Perth Court House where the trial began Sept. 23. The trial continues Oct. 15.

The package was then put into a blue polyvinyl envelope with a Velcro seal, which is how funds were transported to the bank at the time.

Piche remembers the package as “pretty significant” in terms of thickness.

Along with the $4,000, Piche prepared three other deposits for the general account on Sept. 2 and enclosed them in the blue envelope as well, taking them to Huddleston’s office. She said he came by her office a short time later indicating “he didn’t have time to go to the bank today and would do the deposit tomorrow.”

Corbella asked if that was unusual.

“No, it was late in the day and the bank closes at 4 p.m., so if he didn’t have time to get there, he didn’t have time to get there,” Piche answered.

He instructed Piche to stow the funds in a lockable three-drawer filing cabinet in her office, which she said she did, not only locking the cabinet but her office door at the end of the day.

She wouldn’t open the cabinet until just before noon the next day, Sept. 3, when Huddleston appeared at her office asking for the funds as he was going to the bank on the way to lunch with former development coordinator, Chris Must.

Piche admitted she didn’t check the envelope before handing it over, but didn’t notice anything abnormal regarding its

thickness.

She wouldn’t see the envelope again until Huddleston brought it to her office upon his return from lunch. In charge of reconciling the funds and ensuring the deposits were accounted for, Piche noticed the three deposits to the general account were stamped by the bank, but deposit record 2135 was not, nor was the money still in the envelope.

“What did you do?” Corbella inquired.

“I sent an email to Mr. Huddleston asking if he got a receipt and if the $4,000 had been deposited,” Piche answered.

Emails entered as exhibits showed this exchange between Piche and Huddleston, with the latter telling her “what you see is what I got.”

“And he said to feel free to follow up with Jonathan (bank teller Jonathan MacArthur),” she said.

Asking whether the right account number was on the deposit record, Piche sent Huddleston the electronic copy of slip 2135 and “left it (matter) in his hands, as my supervisor.”

Piche said nothing more was said on the subject until Sept. 12 when she was invited over to Shoppers Drug Mart to receive more raffle funds in the amount of $1,760. She prepared another deposit record, but this time was asked to go to the bank by Huddleston.

“I took (the funds) to the bank because Mr. Huddleston was not well and had been ill off and on,” she explained.

According to the Crown, Huddleston was about to go on leave to have surgery

for a strangulated hernia.

At BMO, Piche was served by Keil and after depositing the $1,760 asked if $4,000 could be found in the lottery account. “...She could not give me any information because I didn’t have permission on that account but suggested I might want to follow up,” she said.

After sending another email Sept. 15 to Huddleston outlining what she called Keil’s “cryptic” comment about the funds and a further one Sept. 18 indicating the $4,000 deposit didn’t turn up on the Sept. 9 account statement, he then went to the bank Sept. 22 with further deposits and to inquire about the missing $4,000, Piche said.

“I was concerned that the money may not be where it’s supposed to be and we have to prepare a lottery report within a month of the deposit for the province and part of that is showing the deposit record,” she continued.

After discovering the funds weren’t in the bank, Piche said while searching her office, she discarded the blue envelope in question after seeing it had been damaged. “I disposed of it thinking that because it was compromised at the bottom, it would eventually be unsafe to carry money in it...” she stated.

Corbella asked about her relationship with her boss, Huddleston, and Piche said it was an “amiable” one and the two often shared general conversations about finances and retirement plans. However, during cross-examination, Rogers charged: “You didn’t like Mr. Huddleston, did you?”

“It’s not my place to like or dislike him. He was my boss and he was a fine enough fellow,” she said.

He also asked about Piche’s financial situation. “Prior to arriving in Almonte, were you in a debt situation?” he asked.

“Yes, like most Canadians I carry debt,” Piche answered.

Rogers asked if Piche had ever felt like a suspect in the investigation.

“No,” she commented. “When I was called in to speak with the police, I thought they would have to ask questions and they may very well think I did something with the money, but I know what I did.”

Rogers also suggested Piche shouldn’t have collected the funds from Shoppers Drug Mart, noting she had “no authority” to do it.

“Did I ask for permission? No,” Piche said. “I made a determination based on how all monies coming in to the foundation are handled.”

He wondered if Piche had gotten the Sept. 2 donation mixed up with the later Sept. 12 installment. “Is it possible that the money from Sept. 12 came from Sept. 2?” Rogers asked.

“No, because they came from two different people,” Piche stated.

He raised the theory someone could have accessed her office when she had left for a brief period and thought it odd she would communicate via email with her boss when his office was a short distance away.

“It wasn’t uncommon for us to pick up the phone or send each other an email,” she said.

In his testimony for the Crown, bank teller MacArthur said he remembered seeing Huddleston and “a taller gentleman he was usually with (Must),” late in September when he (Huddleston) made deposits and asked about the missing funds. When MacArthur didn’t see the $4,000 in either account, he said he called Keil over to help. It was then Keil, in her testimony, told the court she noticed the altered document. In an exhibit shown to the court, the paper was identical to deposit record 2135, with one difference: a number 1 had been written in front of the Sept. 2 date, to read Sept. 12.

“I asked Gerry about the paper (deposit record) because it looked like it had been marked on and we needed to be clear on the date in order to investigate,” Keil stated on the stand.

“What did he say?” Corbella questioned. “...He said he wouldn’t know anything, he just brings the deposits to the bank,” Keil said.

She indicated the bank took a few days to conduct an internal investigation and came up with nothing. It was then she contacted Huddleston, who formally notified the executive committee of the AGH/FVM Foundation board on Sept.

24 via email, of the missing funds.

Day two The second day of the trial, Sept. 24, began with the showing of a nearly twoSee HUDDLESTON page SF11

Young players find comedy in tragedy with upcoming production In this Octoberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Romeo and Juliet, the Mississippi Mudds have attempted to show William Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s timeless tragedy from a new perspective â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that of the young actor on stage.

This fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shakespearean production has moved the setting of Romeo and Juliet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from 15th century Verona, Italy, to a high school gymnasium in Carleton Place. The performers are playing shadowy versions of themselves - young amateur actors in a high school production of Romeo and Juliet. And in addition to taking on the daunting task of performing one of the most well-known plays in the English language, the actors also have to meet the more mundane, but just as difficult, challenges of being a teenager â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stage fright, loneliness, shyness, young romance and annoying family members.

Kate Bains, who in her three years of Shakespearean performance has played both serious and comic roles has added two more lines to her resume: sword fighting, and teaching young actors.

Submitted photo

The Mississippi Mudds youth theatre group are hard at work for their upcoming production of Romeo and Juliet, set to open Oct. 16 at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Above, cast members practice their sword fighting during a recent rehearsal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I play an expert in stage combat, has a serious turn: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the production, and is teaching swordfights to all the Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an actor who is disappointed bevery young actors.â&#x20AC;? But her role also cause the group isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t performing Mac-

beth. So she complains about this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the director. And also, if that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, the person playing Romeo is supposed to be my little sister and she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do the part, so I have to calm her down enough to play Romeo, while at the same time doing my own.â&#x20AC;?

The youngest members of the cast â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Emily Hogan, Sarah Parent, Colleen MacMillan, and Ayden Baldwin â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are also happy to add some laughs to the production. Emily says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I play another actorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little sister â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I make fun of the skirt he has to wear in the show, all the time.â&#x20AC;?

For Sarah this is her second Shakespearean production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time, I get to have a swordfight, and play a silly house servant,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Colleen plays the Captain of the Watch: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end, I have to arrest the Friar, so he can tell his story, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad, but I also get to play a servant of the Capulets and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun.â&#x20AC;?

And Ayden, who in her first production plays the Chorus, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have the

last lines in the play. After Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m done, they turn off the lights! And I have to find my way off stage in the dark!â&#x20AC;?

Rest assured, they can all find their way in the dark. And in performing Romeo and Juliet, these young actors have measured themselves against the challenge set by the hundreds of actors, young and old, who have played these roles in the past. Why not come and see their take on one of literatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most well-known romantic tragedies?

Romeo and Juliet runs Friday, Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 17 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 18 at 2 p.m., at the Carleton Place Town Hall. While the play is suitable for most audiences, younger children may be frightened by the staged violence and swordfights.

Tickets cost $10, and are available from Reads Book Shop, 135 Bridge St, Carleton Place, 613-257-7323.

(Attention Cheryl) DEADLINE IS THURSDAY BY NOON

Carmaker scandal may result in closer look at emissions technology By now most of us have heard more than enough about the Volkswagen emission scandal. Just in case you were off the planet for the last few weeks, in 2013 independent researchers at West Virginia University were commissioned by the Independent Council on Clean Transportation to perform a series of emissions tests on diesel powered passenger vehicles.

They ran tests on a VW Jetta, a VW Passat, and a BMW X5. The BMW’s emissions on the road matched laboratory test results, but the two VWs were considerably higher on the road than in the lab (up to 35 times their posted rates).

After some investigation it was discovered that the VWs were equipped with software that only activated the emission control systems during stationary testing and deactivated them when the vehicles were on the road. This all came to light a few weeks back and VW execs quickly admitted their deception and their global CEO has since resigned. It turns out this game has been playing out for six model years (2009 to 2015) and now the EPA of the US along with a growing list of regu-

lators around the world are sharpening up their pencils calculating the fines they are about to slap on VW (we’re talking billions here). US and Canadian lawyers are warming up the class action lawsuits, VW dealers have been forbidden from selling any of the affected models, the EPA refuses to certify any 2016 VW diesels, and their stock value has tanked.

While we can all shake our heads and fingers at VW for being so dishonest and environmentally unfriendly, a big question begs to be asked. How did VW get away with this for six years? They sold more than 11 million vehicles with the ‘defeat’ software with over 500,000 of those being sold in North America. And could any reasonably intelligent person believe that other carmakers don’t have this capability to cheat an emissions test?

Here and south of the border federal regulators rely heavily on automakers to supply them with test data confirming that their products meet emissions’ standards and fuel economy ratings. While we can all depend on consumers to keep carmakers honest when it comes to fuel

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

mileage, what about emissions? How can the average (or even uber-tech) consumer know that their vehicle’s emissions are up to snuff?

You can bet your last dollar that regulators will start some type of random testing on other vehicles (both gasoline and diesel powered) and if they find other makers fudging their numbers, then we may be in for a major overhaul of emission and fuel-economy certifications.

And of course that won’t be cheap.

The cool fall weather is another reminder that winter driving will soon be upon us and it’s probably a good time for a few tips on snow tires.

First, if you haven’t heard already, we live and drive in Canada and all-season

tires are only good for all seasons in Florida or California. Yes, if you want to make it through a Canadian winter of driving unscathed, you’ll need snow tires (and four of them not two). Installing only two snow tires on any vehicle is far more dangerous than running on summer treads. It creates a drastically different grip between the front and rear of any vehicle, leading to unpredictable handling.

Before you do some comparison shopping for winter tires (and it’s a good way to save money) take a note pad and get some details. Tire retailers need to know your vehicle’s complete tire size. That info is embossed on the sidewall of the tire as well as on the vehicle info label on the driver’s door or door opening or in your owner’s manual. It’s never a bad idea to compare the sizing printed on the tires with the spec on the door label; they should match. If they don’t, you should almost always go with the carmaker’s spec.

Snow tires for passenger vehicles can be sorted into two main categories; traditional snow treads and ice radials. The

ice tires have relatively smoother tread but still deliver excellent traction due to the tread’s design and the rubber compounds used.

They also have a lesser negative effect on fuel economy. Traditional snow tires with their large blocky tread designs are better in deep unpacked snow, so if you’re the first one out on a long driveway or if you travel a lot of last-to-beplowed back-roads, this might be a better choice.

Peter Phillips of Mississauga, Ont., writes: “Here’s a 1949 Meteor Custom coupe story. Unlike the Ford business coupe, this one has a full rear seat and pop-out side windows. It belongs to my son but is a true father and son rebuild.

“We found it about 15 years ago in a barn near Owen Sound. We went to look at another car and found this one. except for the paint spraying and learned a lot of new skills.

“The car was originally maIt was an abandoned project. Someone the upholstery stitching. We had started a restoration and someone else had done a bit more. It came with a rebuilt flathead and all the bright work was restored and in boxes. There was a lot of work still to do. The roof had been danced on and the trunk was gone and the rear quarters were rotted badly but my son wanted a “shoe box” and it was a coupe so he bought it.

“It took us ten years to bring it back.

It’s period correct (for the most part) for a mid-50s very mild custom. Concessions were made for safety and reliability but for the most part these are unnoticeable. We did all the work ourselves

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You are extra motivated to explore new opportunities this week, Aries.

Bring along a trusted advisor who can steer you in the right direction if you have questions.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 It is very important to find balance, Taurus. Many activities are coming up, and you have to figure out a way to juggle them all. This will take some creativity.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, avoid overindulging this week. Even though it may seem like you can never get enough, over time something special may lose its spark. Practice moderation, instead.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, everything will work out the way it should if you keep a smile on your face this week and continue with the status quo. Soon you can shake things up.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you may be compelled to get more involved in your community or a volunteer project this week. A desire to give something back propels your actions.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You have a soft spot for underdogs this week, Virgo. Anyone who seems to be struggling will have your attention, and you will offer to lend a hand.

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 42 - Thursday, October 1, 2015

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this week presents opportunities to help people or even animals in need. If ever there was a time to take up a cause, now is it. You have plenty of extra time to lend a hand.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may find yourself waking up extra early just to accomplish everything you need to get done. Try not to burn the candle at both ends for too long.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you will enjoy downtime much more after you complete an important task and feel a sense of accomplishment. Rest may still be a few days away, so be patient.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, things may be a little confusing of late, but you will find a clear path to get things done. Ask a friend or colleague to lend a helping hand if things get too hectic.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Relationships are very important this week, Aquarius. Nurture both the personal and professional relationships that you want to grow, and you will be happy you did.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the earlier half of the week may be hectic, but things will return to an even keel as the days press on.

McDONALD, Edith, 1938-2014 They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

Loving you always, Ellard, Reggie ( Debbie), Karen & grandchildren.

I treasure every moment, you spent in life with me, I hoped to have you longer, But it wasn’t meant to be, You left this world so suddenly, I think my heart went too, I feel so lost and lonely, & cry from missing you.

My heart feels like it’s breaking, As I try to carry on, You were my life, my everything, But now my dear you are gone.

I pray that God will give me strength Until he calls me too Then what joy will fill my heart When I’m again with you.

Loving you always your wife Donna Love by Richard, Kyle, Nick and Hailey-Dawn

and-a-half-hour video of the police interview Huddleston gave to OPP Det. Tom Kohls on Oct. 29, 2014 at the Carleton Place OPP detachment.

“I’m here on my own free will and I’d certainly like to get to the bottom of this,” Huddleston stated in the video. “...I take personal responsibility of that money because I’m the head of that department.”

Huddleston’s account of the day was similar to Piche’s and admitted “if I made a mistake, it was not checking the satchel (envelope) to see if the money was in there and for not taking the slip back to Jonathan. “...I said to Al (Lunney, then AGH/ FVM Foundation board president) and Carolyn that there was no question in my mind the money was going to turn up and be in a drawer somewhere,” he continued in the video.

Huddleston said he couldn’t remember exactly when Piche had acquired the $4,000 from Shoppers Drug Mart and when asked if she would have made a deposit on Sept. 12, he was also unsure.

“It’s not likely, because I was still there. I would doubt on Sept. 12 she would have made a deposit,” Huddleston stated in the video.

Asked outright by Kohls if he had anything to do with the missing funds, Huddleston stressed, “I know I didn’t do it for sure. In my opinion, I suppose there are only two other people that handled the money: Carolyn at the office and Jonathan at the bank... I absolutely know I didn’t take it.”

When Kohls pressed further, Huddleston said in his career as a fundraiser and as a political assistant, he had access to thousands of dollars. “We’re talking about $4,000 here. If anyone thinks I would risk a $104,000 job to take $4,000, that’s ludicrous,” he said.

When the subject of the forged document was raised by Kohls, Huddleston said he was never asked about any alteration made to the record.

“I wasn’t aware of that (forged document) issue and it certainly concerns me,” Huddleston said. “...I absolutely don’t remember that conversation with Terry (Keil). Absolutely not.”

“Did you make any alteration to the copy (of the deposit record) prior to showing it to Terry?” Kohls asked.

“No, in fact, I didn’t even open it (the envelope) before then,” Huddleston answered. “...If I could analyze the document and see the type of pen used.”

“You’re presenting the one (document) that’s altered, but the hospital doesn’t have a copy of that. It’s important for you to be honest,” Kohls stated.

Huddleston was adamant he was unaware of any alteration to the deposit record. “You wouldn’t get anybody to say that I took the money,” he stated.

“I’m not questioning your character, but the manner in which you explain these things leaves me no doubt you aren’t being honest with me,” Kohls said, asking if “for emotional, health or financial reasons, you stepped outside of your character.”

“You’re absolutely wrong and couldn’t be further from the truth,” Hud-

dleston maintained.

Kohls questioned why Huddleston waited from Sept. 3 to Sept. 22 to inquire about the missing funds, which was a “big concern” to police.

“I’ve never had a deposit go missing.

I’ve never had $500 go missing and I was under a lot of stress to prepare for an event on the sixth (Sept. 6, Mississippi Mills River Run),” he stated.

On sick leave at the time of the police interview and on medication recovering from his hernia surgery, Rogers suggested Huddleston wasn’t of “operational mind” and there were questions into whether or not the conversations regarding the altered document were voluntary.

Huddleston took the stand for questioning into his health condition on the day.

“I was getting weaker by the minute.

I thought it (interview) was going to be short,” he said. “...But I didn’t think it would look good if I said I had to go.”

When cross-examining Huddleston, Corbella said, “You say you’re getting weaker by the minute, but we watched the interview a few minutes ago...and near the end of the interview, you’re talking about your pension and all these things. You’re the one doing all the talking and really, the officer at that point is not getting a word in edgewise.”

Huddleston said that when he gets weaker, “my wife will tell you, I talk far too much.”

He also admitted that had he been told by OPP Detective Constable Sonya Oleinikow prior to the interview that it was to include the forged document issue, he would have declined without having a lawyer present because “uttering a forged document is a serious crime.”

“And stealing from a charity isn’t?”

Corbella asked.

Justice Wright sided that “the Crown absolutely has shown that from the accused’s own evidence, he’s a strong person and felt a duty to the police... This was a free and voluntary statement and will be available for admission as evidence.”

The second day also included testimony from Oleinikow and AGH Chief Executive Officer and President Mary Wilson Trider, who said the board launched a formal investigation with the OPP into the matter in October 2014.

Trial continues The Crown will continue to present its case when the trial resumes in Perth on Oct. 15 at 9 a.m. The trial concludes Oct. 20 and 21.

The charges against Huddleston have yet to be proven in court.

Wrong Site, Wrong Procedure, Wrong Patient Surgery Are you scheduled for surgery?

If so, there are ways to circumvent horrendous surgical errors. We’ve all heard stories about surgeons amputating the wrong leg. Or fixing a hernia on the side that didn’t need it. If you think this is past history, you had better think again as it happens every year in North America.

During a 10 year period in Canada, wrong-site surgery happened 106 times. Each year, 6.3 cases inDr. Gifford-Jones volved a lower extremity and in 4.3 cases, an upper limb. The most common error was the use of arthroscopy (looking into the joint with an optical instrument) on the wrong joint. This misfortune happened to 24 patients.

And in one case a total knee replacement was performed on the wrong knee!

One mishap occurred after a patient fell, causing a fracture of the left leg. But operating room nurses placed her on her left side exposing her to surgery on her right leg. It was only after the surgeon made the incision and found no fracture that he realized the error.

Reports from the U.S. show that wrong side or wrong person surgery happens once in every 100,000 cases. But if a patient is having an operation for a lazy eye, the risk of surgery being performed on the wrong eye is one in 10,000!

Dr. Philip Stahel, a researcher and surgeon at Denver Health Medical Center, remarked, “The surgical blunders reported are in all probability just the tip of the iceberg and mix-ups are likely higher.” In fact, one patient died of lung complications when a doctor inserted a chest tube into the wrong lung.

All of these errors are tragic and some catastrophic. In another case, two patients had prostate biopsies. The result showed that one had cancer and the other did not. But the biopsies got mixed up and the patient without the cancer had a radical prostatectomy performed, which is extensive surgery, and removal of an organ, for no reason. The other patient was still walking around unaware he had a malignancy.

The U.S. report showed that one-third of the mistakes lead to long-term negative consequences. In Canada, wrong site, wrong procedure and wrong patient surgery left 10 percent of patients with poor outcomes, depression or death. But all patients either required prolonged surgical time or additional surgery.

One would wonder how these errors can happen. It is primarily a failure of common sense. In some instances the patient was anesthetized, the extremity prepared and draped before the patient was even seen by the surgeon.

In other situations the extremity that supposedly required surgery was marked by someone other than the operating surgeon. Or medical records and X-rays were not available in the operating room. In effect, hospital policy was rarely followed, or not at all.

To help prevent this problem some hospitals have initiated a “timeout” before the incision is made. This gives everyone a moment to reflect on whether all the I’s have been dotted and all the T’s crossed before proceeding.

But what can patients do to prevent wrong-site surgery and make errors as fool proof as possible. Some surgeons initial the part of the body scheduled for surgery. But this is not always done. So if there’s no initial on your operative site before you’re wheeled to the operating room, ask the surgeon to place his initial on the right extremity while you’re still awake.

Alexander Pope wrote over 300 years ago, “To err is human” so it may be a long time before there’s 100 percent protection against surgical errors. It can be so easy to err.

For example, a plastic surgeon was about to operate on a patient’s fourth finger. But a colleague entered the operating room to ask a question about another patient. This distraction resulted in the surgeon operating on the third finger!

Last week I wrote about UTI Drops, a natural remedy to treat urinary tract infections. Many readers ask “Where can I purchase them?” You can obtain them at a Health Food Store or go to “pno.ca” and click on store locator to find an HFS near you.

Mary Jean McFall says Liberal Party will create change in region Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Editor’s Note: This is the third installment of our profile coverage on candidates running for the MP position for the Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes riding.

Politicians say a lot of things.

“As I am sitting here, talking to a young reporter, I am thinking; should I say this or not?” said Mary Jean McFall, Federal Liberal candidate for Leeds Grenville - Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. “But then I think, if we’re going to be transparent and open, then we should say what we really think.”

McFall, resident of Brockville and past councillor for the City of Brockville from 2010 to 2014, is no stranger to strong leadership; her family owns Burnbrae Farms based in Lyn, Ont., and she spent much of her childhood working on the farm as needed, mucking stalls and feeding chickens.

She also raised her three sons on the farm, before relocating to Brockville, where she currently resides.

“My first candidacy was between 1978 and 1979, when I was head girl at TISS (Thousand Islands Secondary School), along with Steve Clark (current MPP for Leeds-Grenville), who was head boy,” said McFall.

She admitted, her mother, grandmother and various other strong women in her life influenced her decision to pursue politics.

“My mother always said ‘you have to do your bit,’” said McFall. “If you want something in your community, you have to do your part.”

Leeds Grenville needs strong leadership and a strong voice; a role she hopes to fill, she explained.

Jennifer Westendorp/METROLAND

Mary Jean McFall, the Federal Liberal candidate for Leeds Grenville – Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, feels strong, community leaders are the answer to improving quality of life for people in the region.

“We need change.”

“One of the things I learned is politics is the art of learning how to get people to go along with your ideas,” she said, and added, political leaders’ need to get the public’s priorities onto the agenda and lobby for those priorities the right way.

Choosing between running as the Liberal candidate and Brockville councillor again was a difficult decision.

“I knew I couldn’t do both,” said McFall. “I did feel there were issues unresolved at city council, such as jobs, the economy and the tourism industry, but if there’s the littlest grain of a wish to do something, you should go for it.”

Elected the Liberal candidate on Dec. 7, she kicked off her campaign in January, and intends to keep knocking on doors to deliver her messaging to constituents right up until the Oct. 19

election.

A commercial lawyer, she noted problem solving is one of her passions, which is why she has always been so involved in the community.

“It’s good to do the right thing,” she said. “For me, the Liberal Party represents a value system that tailors best with my own values – tolerance and the celebration of diversity. (Pierre) Trudeau was the last great statesman Canada had.”

In her opinion, people need a hand up, not a hand out, to improve their lives.

“People want their freedom, but at the same time, we have to stick up for the disadvantaged,” said McFall. “The main thing is being a strong and compassionate voice.”

One of the items on the Liberal Party agenda is implementing a tax break for the middle class (income earners between $45,000 and $90,000 per year) and taxing the rich more, to continue providing social services to the disadvantaged.

Creating additional daycare spaces and lowering the Old Age Security Pension eligibility age back to 65 are other integral items on the Liberal agenda.

“I’ve been a working mother all my life,” said McFall.

The key to all this is increasing the tax base to improve services and make changes, she said.

“Leeds Grenville needs people to stimulate the economy,” said McFall.

“We should be looking at immigration policies.”

Community based leadership is vital to increasing the number of social housing projects and other social services, she noted. “Partnership funding between municipalities and the province to build social housing and get people in it who need it,” said McFall.

Community activism, like the Wall Street Village project in Brockville to create low-income housing for seniors, is another essential ingredient for change, she observed.

“Seeing new housing like that being built as a result of community activism is great,” said McFall.

“We have to go out, talk to people and recognize their needs.”

Economic development is a huge subject for all levels of government in Canada.

“North Grenville is doing great in terms of growth, but there are no meaningful jobs,” said McFall. “Job development in all communities is important.”

Justin Trudeau brings new life to the Liberal Party, she commented.

“He re-built it from the ground up.

Leeds Grenville went from having 250 members of the Liberal Party to 1,000.

He is a value driven leader with a certain vision for Canada, which includes respect for the environment and people from all walks of life.”

The Liberals are tired of watching the Federal Government run out of the PM’s (Stephen Harper) office, she said.

“It’s a party of one. Harper doesn’t hold press conferences, he issues press releases. Accountability has gone out the window.”

The Conservative government legislated out the statute enabling the Auditor General to audit Parks Canada. “It makes no sense to exempt Parks Canada from being audited,” she said.

The Conservatives recent cash give away, reported widely in the news, for parents is just another ploy to swing votes in their favour, despite those funds being taxable come spring 2016, McFall noted.

“The whole thing was set up to buy

people’s votes.”

She is not in agreement with the province’s decision to sell off a portion of Hydro One to private industry.

“Hydro is a big issue for people in Leeds Grenville. I don’t think now is a good time for the sale.”

Canadians are sick and tired of being spun by the government, she charged.

“Let’s tell the truth and be willing to stand up for our views,” she said.

McFall said her goal is to unseat MP Gord Brown, who has held the riding since 2004. Prior to that, Leeds Grenville was a Liberal riding from 1988 to 2004.

The misconception about irresponsible Liberal spending is just that – a misconception, she explained.

“The Liberals had a balanced budget in the ’90s,” she said. “Harper came along and now we have deficits. The Liberals are known as good financial managers.”

It was the provincial Conservative government, under Mike Harris, that implemented delivery charges on Hydro bills, she pointed out.

Leeds Grenville needs a stronger federal voice, McFall said.

“Gord (Brown) is better at bringing messages from the government to Leeds Grenville than bringing messages from Leeds Grenville to the government,” commented McFall.

Advocating for what people believe in is her focus.

The country’s economy is reflected by growth and the last two consecutive quarters have seen negative growth in Canada, she noted.

“If we’re in a recession, we’re in a recession,” she said.

“If the budget isn’t balanced, it isn’t – even if you say it is. Look around and ask yourself, are you comfortable with the current governance?”

Former peanut plant to have roof done Staff

Re-roofing work at the former peanut plant on Hershey Drive is expected to wrap up by Christmas this year, confirmed Chris Saumure, spokesperson for the Tweed Hershey Drive Inc. company who owns the former chocolate plant.

Once the 60,000 square foot building is roofed, owners will then be working with a solar company

to install solar panels. This work in improved efficiency is to be completed by March 2016. When asked why such an investment was being made into the vacant building, Saumure replied: “It just allows us something to rent.”

He confirmed they are dealing with a couple of interested queries at present and will make the announcement of their newest tenant as soon as possible.

The power of pets in helping human owners with life’s challenges is at the core of two Smiths Falls based donations to the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides program.

Carey Oberman of Magnolia Catering& Event Creations attended the Sept. 24 Lions Club meeting to formally present her $208 donation to the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides program.

The funds came from proceeds of the meal served during the Sept. 17 Festival of Small Halls event held at the Ivy on William Yoga and Wellness Centre. Oberman has seen first-hand how pets can transform a challenging situation and help humans deal with hardships whether they are physical or emotional. A family member of Oberman’s has found great comfort in the company of a cat.

“He was able to go to college because he had him,” Oberman said.

The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides offers trained service dogs at no cost for those living with hearing loss, seizures, autism and diabetes.

“They’re not just guide dogs anymore,” remarked Stan Suffel, whose family also made a generous contribution this past summer.

Suffel’s beloved wife, Elizabeth passed away this summer. Elizabeth was a long-time Lions member who believed in the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides program and the benefits it provides to those it serves. Suffel said his decision to donate $500 from her estate to this cause was an easy one to make.

“I knew that’s what she wanted,” he said.

Both donations will be forwarded to the foundation from the Smiths Falls club this year.

The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides is wholly supported by donations from individuals, service clubs, foundations and businesses. In 2013-2014 the foundation raised $6.6 million, which was put to work providing the necessary training and placement needed for each individual dog and their Canadian owner. According to the foundation’s website, each dog that is placed in a home costs $25,000 to train.

Brad Kerfoot looks towards a bright future after national golf tourney win Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

A winter golfing schedule, potential sponsorship opportunities and a bright future are all on Brad Kerfoot’s to-do list in 2016 after he recently putted his way to win the National Assistants Championship of Canada trophy.

The Sept. 8 to 11 Ottawa tournament gave the Smiths Falls native an extra 45-points on his PGA record and thrust him into the spotlight after years of professional golfing.

“It’s unbelievable for sure,” Kerfoot said during a phone interview with the Record News. “It’s kind of been a whirlwind.”

Kerfoot won the tournament with a 9-under par. He was battling through the course against Eric Locke and Marc-Etienne Bussieres, but was able to pull ahead at two separate points in the tournament through some solid birdie action and clutch putts on the back nine.

It came down to the 18th hole and a 10 to 12-foot putt for the win. That putt earned him $9,000, the highest win ever for him and the second time Kerfoot has brought such a pay cheque home. Last summer he won the WAM Pole Invitational taking home a $9,000 prize.

“Every year keeps getting better and better,” Kerfoot said.

His game is all about ensuring he puts no pressure on himself, but focuses on each moment and each swing.

“I just tried to stay out of my own way,” he said.

Fellow friend and Ottawa resident, Joel Michaud caddied for Kerfoot during the Ottawa tournament. Kerfoot thanks Michaud for keeping him loose throughout the weekend on the greens.

“He did help me out a lot,” Kerfoot said.

This fall’s national win is the first time the Smiths Falls native has captured a national level tournament win, but he is hopeful it won’t be his last.

“It was big for me,” he said of the career highlight. “If you can prove it to yourself that you can do it then you can do it.”

Golfing is 90 per cent a mental game, and building the confidence to push yourself and be at your best whether you are in active tournament play or practicing on the greens is crucial.

“You’ve got to do it when it matters,” Kerfoot said.

He brought his winning trophy to the golf shop at Maple Downs Golf Club

He thanks the club members and his family who have been cheering him on as he’s progressed in his game.

“My wife’s definitely very supportive of what I’m doing,” Kerfoot said.

This PGA event allowed the local man to make a rare stop home to his mom’s house where he slept in between tournament days. His mom’s support along with his wife and almost threeyear-old daughter’s cheering from home was a great boost for him. Kerfoot is currently looking into potential sponsorships to take his career to the

next level, but nothing has been confirmed to date. One thing is for sure, and that is that Kerfoot will be putting a lot of time into strategy going into the 2016-2017 season in hopes of building on this incredible achievement.

“It should be able to help me get into new tournaments,” Kerfoot said of his win.

Part of this work may include a return to winter play, which Kerfoot hasn’t done for the last five years.

This week, Kerfoot is playing at the PGA Ontario Player of the Year Championship in Niagara Falls. He has been

building up to this coming golf season almost his entire life.

He first picked up a club at the age of 10 and began to play regularly at the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club.

Kerfoot continued to build the foundation for his golfing career at home until he was about 20 years old and moved to Toronto where he studied Golf Management at Humber College. His alma mater has also recognized Kerfoot’s talents of late. Last Friday, Sept. 25, the school conducted a jersey retirement ceremony in Kerfoot’s honour.

“It’s kind of cool,” the athlete said.

The accomplished golfer has previously been inducted into the Humber College Hall of Fame and the Ontario College Athletic Association’s (OCAA) Hall of Fame, but it isn’t the first recognition he received at the college level. During his time at Humber, Kerfoot earned an OCAA and CCAA silver medal (2003) for his work on the greens before moving on to win the RCGA university/college championship the following spring. He had the honour of serving as team captain for Team Canada at the FISU world championships.

Local boy continues to reach for his dreams in the rink Stacey Roy

would like each individual player to improve their techniques, while learning work ethic, discipline and responsibility.

“I’ll be happy,” he said.

The Sept. 23 exhibition match against the Smiths Falls Bears ended in a 4-0 loss, but was not without its reasons for cheering.

“The biggest highlight of the game from our end was our goalie, Elio making two huge saves by diving across the crease and making the save when there was no doubt both times Smiths Falls should’ve scored,” Saumure

sroy@perfprint.ca

From Olympic athletes to bantam teams, Ryley Saumure has spent the last few years capitalizing on every coaching opportunity he has been offered in hopes of one day making it his day job.

“I want to eventually go on to have a coaching career. Something where I can just wake up in the morning go to the rink and do something I love to do,” Saumure said in an email interview. “The way I see it is every stop I take is just another stepping stone to where I want to be.”

Saumure knows his career aspirations won’t come to pass overnight, but he’s certainly enjoying each step towards that end.

This past summer, he had the opportunity to work with Olympic gold medalist, Katie Weatherston during her hockey camps in Ottawa and Thunder Bay. Then in the spring, Saumure shared in triumph with a girls’ U18 team he coached during a Quebec City tournament. The girls went in hoping to win one game, but surprised the crowd and themselves by winning two and tying one.

“The highlight of the tournament was beating the University of New Brunswick Prospects team,” Saumure wrote.

wrote.

He said he was pleased to show his team his old stomping grounds in Smiths Falls and have an opportunity to reminisce about his days on the ice.

Saumure said being back in the Bears’ den brought back many memories thanks to the support of his family.

“Another highlight [of the Sept. 23 game] was during warm-up, I happened to look up in the stands and I saw my grandparents waving across the ice at me,” he added. “It was just like

when I was playing and everyone would come out and watch.”

Saumure last laced up for the Smiths Falls Bears in 2010 when he was a goaltender for the minor midget team that won bronze in Lake Placid. In 2012 he took time out of his work with the Ottawa Senators Hockey program (where he worked from 20102013) to coach Team Ontario’s peewee team.

This past summer he completed further coaching training by earning his High Performance Coaching certification.

The incredible heart of Elio, the Leitrim Hawks minor bantam goalie who stopped two shots on goal by the Smiths Falls Bears Sept. 23 was one of the top highlights for the team during this exhibition game. The regular season begins Oct. 5.

Last season, the Smiths Falls native found himself working as an assistant coach with the Ottawa Valley Titans Major Bantam AAA team. The opportunities just kept coming last season when Saumure worked stints in scouting the region for a Calgarybased Junior A hockey team and running a goalie clinic training program with Hockey Canada.

This season, he has returned to the Leitrim Hawks minor bantam team where he did some coaching in 2013. The Ottawa-

based minor bantam team has hit the ice hard this season having scheduled three out of town exhibition games, including a recent meet up with the Smiths Falls Bantam Bears. Saumure said he felt the games with the one-year senior opponents were important for team bonding and to set the tempo for the rest of the season.

“The kids told me that their team goal is to make it back to the [regional] championships,” Saumure said.

For his part, the local coach

TOWN OF SMITHS FALLS NOTICE OF DECISION DEVELOPMENT PERMIT BYLAW TAKE NOTICE: The Council of the Corporation of the Town of Smiths Falls passed By-law No. 8825-2015 to adopt a Development Permit Bylaw respecting the lands known municipally as “The Gallipeau Centre” on the 21st day of September, 2015 under Section 70.2(1) of the Planning Act RSO 1990, as amended.

TAKE NOTICE that any appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board in respect of the Development Permit Bylaw must be filed with the Clerk of the Town of Smiths Falls not later than the 13th day of October, 2015. A notice of appeal must set out the reasons for the appeal, and the specific part of the proposed Development Permit Bylaw to which the appeal applies. A notice of appeal must be accompanied by a fee of $125.00 as prescribed by the Ontario Municipal Board.

TAKE NOTICE that only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal the Development Permit Bylaw to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

TAKE NOTICE that no person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the Development Permit Bylaw was adopted, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the Council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION relating to the complete Development Permit Bylaw is available for inspection during normal business hours at the Municipal Offices: Town of Smiths Falls, Municipal Offices, Box 695, 77 Beckwith Street North, Smiths Falls, Ontario, K7A 4T6.

Telephone: (613) 283-4124 Copies of the Bylaw are also available for viewing on the Town of Smiths Falls website at: www.smithsfalls.ca/gallipeaucentredps.cfm.

DATED AT THE TOWN OF SMITHS FALLS, THIS 22nd DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2015.

____________________________ Niki McKernan, Senior Planner Town of Smiths Falls Telephone: 283-4124 Email: nmckernan@smithsfalls.ca

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE AMENDMENT The purpose of the amendment is to review a planning policy specific to the lands known municipally as The Gallipeau Centre (361 Queen Street). The Development Permit System combines both a Zoning Bylaw and a Site Plan Bylaw into a single document that governs the review and regulation of applicable land uses permitted on the site.

The Development Permit System for the Gallipeau Centre is a pilot project to determine if the use of such a bylaw is appropriate across the entire municipality.

Due to the Centre’s unique Campus landscape and the compilation of a variety of low-intensity mixed uses an alternative policy framework was deemed to be most appropriate.

Guides will explain the history of these two cemeteries in the Town, along with a connection they have today.

This is not a tour of ghosts and goblins jumping out and scaring visitors but a beautiful candlelit atmosphere as visitors stroll through the oldest section of the cemetery. Guides will remind you of traditional cem-

etery etiquette and superstitions alongside spooky and quirky tales from days gone by. Let the atmosphere and the mystery of this cemetery captivate you.

Tickets are $5 per person and must be reserved in advance by calling the museum at (613) 283-6311. Spaces are limited.

Guatemala yard sale tradition continues for St. John students St. John Catholic High School (SJCHS) is sending seven students to Guatemala once again as part of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO)’s annual exposure trip initiative.

This year, the school board is offering three different trips for the schools in the board, and the students at St. John are once again able to go Guatemala. The seven travelers depart in March 2016, and will spend 10 days over the March Break in Guatemala.

The total cost for the seven students and two staff members to attend the trip is $15,000, which includes various expenses, such as the cost of the flight and accommodations when in Guatemala.

The students hope to raise the money before the trip date through several fundraisers, most of which are being brought back from the years previous, as they have had great success.

The first fundraiser that will be occurring is the annual Guatemala Yard Sale at Crystal Palace. The sale will be happening on Saturday, Oct. 17, and will be accompanied by a bake table.

However, in order to sell new and slightly used items the day of the sale, the travellers need donations from the community. To donate items you may have in your closet that you haven’t touched in a while, but are still in good condition, all you need to do is drop them off at one of the two trailers. The trailers are donated by Will’s Transfer and are each conveniently located in Smiths Falls and Perth.

The Smiths Falls trailer is located on the corner of Cornelia Street West, and William’s Street, across from the Garden Market. This land is owned by Guy Saumure and Sons Construction LTD. who was so kind to let the school’s volunteers utilize the property.

The Perth trailer is located across from the Perth Mews Mall on Highway 7. The land is owned by Barnabe’s Independent Grocer, who were also generous offering the use of the land.

You can drop off your donations on Saturday, Oct. 3, and/or Oct. 10.

The yard sale has been going on for about 15 years now, and each team in the past has been overwhelmed by the amount of support the community has given. Let us continue the tradition again this year!

The other big fundraiser the team has planned is the annual Valentine’s Day Gala. It is still in the process of being planned, so there will be more information in the future, closer to the event.

From Thursday through Sunday (Oct. 1 to 4), residents, businesses and organizations in Smiths Falls and district can bring their electronic waste into the REAL Deal or SFDCI, or arrange to have Crime Stoppers pick it up.

“The REAL Deal has been the main electronic waste depot in Smiths Falls for a year now, but we’re still getting an enormous amount. Having a special event allows us to collect even more and get it out of the way before we get housebound for the winter,” says Susan Brandum, Executive Director of the REAL Deal Reuse Store, a project of the 26-year-old Rideau Environmental Action League.

This is the place for those dead and dying computers, TVs, printers, stereo systems, radios, old phones, and some other things.

“As well, it’s fabulous to have these

great partners on board with us,” added Brandum.

To make it easy for everyone, there are options for getting rid of your electronic waste: * Take it into the REAL Deal Reuse Store Thurs. Fri or Sat. from 10 am – 3 pm. or on Sunday, from 12 noon to 3 p.m. The REAL Deal is at 85 William St. W, Smiths Falls, opposite the Railway Museum. * Take it to SFDCI to the black bin to the right of the school on either Thursday or Friday Just drop it by the bin; at 299 Percy St., Smiths Falls The Environment Club will pack the bin. * Call Lyle Clancy at Crime Stoppers at 613-283-0863 to arrange pick-up from your home or business. Pick-up is only available on Sat. or Sun. Please call at least one day in advance, leave your name, number, the type of items,

whether you want pick-up Sat or Sun. While there is no limit on the amount of e-waste, please consider the backs of the guys picking it up and bring it to your door where possible.

Mills Community Support is also providing support to the partners.

In the past year, the REAL Deal has collected and sent to recycling approximately 40 tonnes of electronic waste, coming from Smiths Falls and the lower-tier municipalities in Lanark and Leeds and Grenville counties.

Electronic waste is an enormous environmental problem says Brandum.

“At least now we have a program that captures it and sends it for appropriate recycling.” Consumers should look for the program to be expanded. Donors can also bring small batteries into the REAL Deal.

Yard maintenance: a short guide to fall chores Summer vacation is a thing of the past and a few tidy-up jobs are waiting for you in the yard. That’s right; your yard is in great need of some TLC at this time of year.

Take a walk in the vegetable garden After you’ve harvested your delicious homegrown ve­getables, all the weeds Now’s the time for garlic lovers to and pests have to be removed from your vegetable plot. This is also the time to take plant their bulbs for next year. stock and plan for next year. Evaluate the performance of your garden and take note of any problems you experienced during the growing season (insects, diseases, plants too close together, etc.).

This will help you correct things next time around. If you didn’t take note of the location of your various vegetables when you sowed them, you should do so now. That way, you can rotate your crop next summer. And if you want to enjoy garlic next year, now’s the time to plant your bulbs. ...and around the flower beds This is definitely not the time to sit back and relax as far as your flowerbeds are concerned. In fact, a good clea­ning up is required. Dig up weeds, as well as any annuals that have been damaged by the first frosts. Trim the stems of plants susceptible to disease and the foliage of perennials. Fall is also the ideal time to test your soil and amend it where necessary. Divide your perennials and plant spring bulbs. Non-hardy bulbs should be dug up after the first frost. Leave them to dry and then remove the excess soil before storing them in a cool, dry, dark place for replanting next year.

Take care of the lawn Spoiling your lawn all summer is not enough for it to stay beautiful and healthy.

Fall is the time to reseed bare spots, aerate the soil, add compost and spread a potassium-rich natural fertilizer. You should also remove any dead leaves, as a thick carpet of leaf Fall is the ideal season to reseed any bare spots in your lawn.

Ten Reasons for Hiring a Professional

Building or renovating your home should be a positive experience – free from worry and stress. You should have full confidence in your builder or renovator and know that you are getting the best. That’s why you should choose a professional builder or renovator.

• From start to finish. A professional builder or renovator will help you to put it all together - from ideas to design, products to plans, and construction to completion.

• Experienced advice. A professional builder or renovator has the experience and knowledge to help turn your ideas into great results. They listen, make suggestions, and look for the best way of doing things.

• Technical know-how. Professional builders or renovators understand construction, how to deal with challenges and problems, and how to improve the comfort of your home.

• Expert teamwork. Behind every professional builder or renovator, there is a solid network of staff, subtrades and suppliers ready to go to work for you.

• A proven track record. Their business is an open book. You are invited to talk with past customers, look at their previous work and check out their reputation.

• Accurate pricing. No need to be concerned about low-ball costing, inferior work or escalating prices once the job begins. Experienced builders or renovators know what it takes to do something right and how much it costs, and they’ll tell you upfront.

• A written contract. Trust alone is not enough. Professionals back it up with a written contract that spells your project out in detail-what, how, who, when and how much.

• Liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. Better safe than sorry. In the unlikely event of an accident or damage to your own or neighboring properties, a professional builder’s or renovator’s coverage protects you from liability and cost.

• Warranty. Like any other consumer purchase, a professional builder or renovation comes with a warranty on labour. And with professional installation, there is no risk of voiding the manufacturers’ warranties on materials and products.

• Service, service, service. Professional builders or renovators are in business for the long term. They work hard to earn your trust and make every renovation a great experience.

debris deprives the grass of light and may cause it to die off. Shred the leaves and compost them, or let them decompose on the ground. In October, you should also mow the lawn for the last time, being sure to leave it at a height of five centimeters so it will be protected from temperature changes.

Clean and maintain the deck Cool fall days are perfect for doing maintenance work on your deck. Remove any weeds and debris stuck between the planks and steps of the deck and then repair or replace damaged planks and wobbly posts.

You should also sand any rough spots that may cause splinters and fill cracks with wood putty. A thorough cleaning is also a good idea. Use a pressure washer (on the lowest setting to avoid damaging the surface) and a cleaning product that’s suitable for your type of wood. Then treat or stain your deck so it stays beautiful for as long as possible.

Ten important steps for closing up your cottage

Inspect the gutters, roof and foundations and do any necessary repairs.

The kids have gone back to school, the leaves are changing colour and the temperature is dropping slowly but surely. In other words, fall is definitely in the air and the time has come to close your cottage for the winter. Here’s a short checklist so you don’t forget anything and end up with some unpleasant surprises next spring.

1. Inspect the cottage. Walk around the cottage to check if anything deteriorated over the summer. Inspect the gutters and remove dead leaves from them; make sure they’ll drain properly.

Check the roof and foundations, and do any necessary repairs.

2. Check the doors and windows.

Remove the screens to prevent condensation buildup on windows, and make sure all doors and windows are properly caulked. Replace any damaged weather stripping.

3. Prune trees. Cut branches that are too close to the cottage or that are hanging over the roof, as they could damage the structure in high winds or during heavy snow accumulation.

4. Put everything in storage.

Shelter garden hoses, deck furniture, gardening tools, lawn mower, bikes, barbecue, boats and water toys. Take the time to close up the pool and spa properly.

5. Turn off the water. Turn off the water inside the cottage as well as the outside tap. Drain the hot water tank and pipes (washer, dishwasher, shower, etc.) to prevent frozen and burst pipes. Don’t hesitate to call in a Positive cold professional to ensure that everything The temperature of a positive is done properly. cold room is generally maintained 6. Empty the fridge. The fridge at 3°C, which is about the same as the temperature of a fridge. Here are some should be emptied, cleaned and defrosted. Be sure to leave the door ajar to of the vegetables that keep best in a prevent bad smells. cold room: 7. Wash all bedding. Remove and • Carrots • Cabbages wash the bedding.

• Onions • Squash You could also cover your mattress • Rutabagas and turnips and living room cou­ches with plastic It’s a recommended that you maintain around 90 per cent humidity in to prevent mildew.

8. Minimize the risk of fire. Turn a positive cold room. Under these off conditions, your food will retain its taste and nutritional quali­ties. Be sure the electricity and heating, and unplug all electrical appliances.

He or she will be able to design the best model spect the chimney, or have it inspected by a chimney sweep. to suit your needs.

A cold room? Why not!

In modern times, a refrigerator and free­zer are essential for storing foods that need to be kept cool and for preserving summer harvests. But what about a cold room, much like the kind that was common be­fore the electric fridge? In fact, cold rooms are still used in many homes today for the storage of large amounts of food and garden bounty.

Negative cold Because their temperatures fluctuate bet­ween -18 and -30°C, negative cold rooms could also be called freezer rooms. They are used for the prolonged freezing of fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, seafood and dairy products.

The shelf life of foods stored in these sub-zero conditions is approximately one year.

9. Protect the cottage from vermin.

Get rid of all traces of food, including canned food, and block all possible entryways to the cottage, such as the fireplace and cracks in walls or in the foundation. You could also scatter some mothballs in case animals do try to take up residence in your absence in spite of all your precautions.

10. Secure the cottage. Make sure that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly, and change the batteries. Remove all your valuables and leave the curtains open to show that there is nothing interesting to steal inside — closed curtains arouse cu­riosity. Before leaving, make sure that all doors (cottage, shed, garage, etc.) are pro­perly closed and locked. If possible, ask your neighbours to check on your property from time to time, and give them your contact information in case of an emergency.

Lastly, don’t forget to notify your insu­r er that your cottage is closed until next spring.

Deck furniture, garden tools, mowers, bikes, barbecue and boats: it’s time to put everything away for the winter.

Underfloor heating is the ultimate in comfort In Canada, we all know that it’s no fun ha­ving to walk barefoot on a cold floor during your nightly trip to the bathroom. If you dream of being able to walk around your home without having to bother putting on a big pair of slippers, why not have underfloor heating installed?

Guaranteed comfort Underfloor heating usually works with an electric radiant system. This type of heating has several advantages in terms of comfort and energy savings. When a room is heated with an underfloor

system, the ambient temperature is the same from floor to ceiling. In addition, all the heat doesn’t escape when you open the door of the room.

Floorings For maximum efficiency, choose ceramic tiling or natural stone. These are ideal for storing and re­distribu­ting heat. That said, the compatibility of ot­her floorings va­ries depen­ding on what type it is. So before installing un­der­floor heating, check with the retailer to make sure the flooring you’re considering will perform efficiently.

Also, keep in mind that the

job of connecting the heating system to your electrical circuit should be done by an electrician.

Here are just a few of the benefits of underfloor heating: • The system is completely invisible.

• It doesn’t require any form of maintenance.

• It’s silent and doesn’t vibrate.

• It doesn’t spread dust or germs.

• It doesn’t dry the air the way other systems do.

• It uses up to 25 per cent less energy than regular electric baseboards.

Underfloor heating is not only invisible and ingenious, it saves energy as well.

An electric fireplace for a cozy atmosphere buy it, unpack it, plug it in and enjoy your new purchase with­out missing a beat.

3) You control the temperature. Just select a low, medium or high heat, depending on the season. Enjoying a cozy fire on a cool summer evening is always nice. Don’t forget the eco-friendly nature of this type of fireplace — no emissions and no pollution.

4) An electric fireplace is a decorative element that adds style to your home. Since they come in a wide selection of sty­les, sizes and co­lours, you’ll definitely find an electric fireplace that complements your de­c or. It’s also extre­mely versatile and can be ins­talled on the floor or on the wall of your li­ving room, dining room, bed­room, etc.

Watching the dancing flames while sipping your favourite drink is a great way to relieve your stress after yet another hectic day. Of course, no electrical appliance can truly re­place the smell, movement and sound of a natural wood fire. However, an electric fireplace is an economical option that works wonders. Here are its four major advantages.

1) Unlike other types of fireplaces, it’s suitable for all kinds of homes. There’s no need for a chimney or vent with an electric fireplace; that is why it’s the perfect choice for small apartments and condos.

2) There’s no need to call on the services of a professional to have it installed. Just like a heater, an electric fireplace operates In addition to being attractive, electric fireplaces don’t pollute. from a wall socket. The pro­cess is simple:

YOUR HOME Fall Edition 2015 Travel back in time Sheer bliss of a central vac Artisans have been creating prac­ tical and beautiful objects from time immemorial. Some of these careful­ ly cared for objects increase in value over the years and can become real treasures for avid collectors. Apart from enjoying the pleasures of de­ corating with antiques, many people like learning about the heritage and history of a culture through their collections. Here are a few tips for people who aren’t yet familiar with the fascinating and popular world of antiques.

The first thing to keep in mind is that it isn’t necessary to invest in an imposing piece of antique furniture to add cachet to your de­cor. Start your collection of treasures from the past by buying small pieces.

Leather-bound books from the early 20th century or black and white photographs are a simple way to add a his­torical touch to your home without breaking the bank.

Visit a few antique dealers in your area to see which kinds of items catch your eye. Take some time and try to imagine these pie­ces in your home.

Con­sult an expe­rien­ced collector if you’re in any doubt about the value of an ex­pensive item.

When you fall in love with a par­ ticular antique, it’s time to negotiate.

Ex­perts suggest making an initial offer of two-thirds of the listed price.

You’ll probably fi­gure out if you have a chance of buying the item at a lower price just from the seller’s reaction. En­joy your treasure hunt­ CK / THINKSTO on si ing! vi l ta gi OTO: di

plug a flexible hose, equipped with a handle on one end and a brush on the other, into one of the outlets. Then with a quick flick of a switch the power unit starts up and you can move from room to room with only the hose to pull along behind you. You: 1. Dust: 0.

Characteristics Central vacuums are easy to install and are more powerful and much quieter than portable vacuum cleaners. Moreover, this type of sys­ tem is much less cumbersome than a traditional va­cuum cleaner — those things bump continuously against fur­ niture and door frames, not to mention they have power cords that are never long enough.

Installation Call in a professional if you decide to install a central vacuum system in your home.

This specialist will make holes in your walls in order to install so­c­kets and piping on each floor. The power unit is typi­ cally placed in the basement, well away from the li­ving areas of your home.

Costs Central vacuum cleaners usually come with a price tag of between $500 and $1,500, depending on the brand, model, power and quality of the com­ ponents and accessories. One last advantage to think about PHOTO: jupiterimages / THINKSTOCK is that a central vacuum cleaner is conside­red an as­set when Get rid of dirt hassle-free with a central selling your home. vacuum cleaner.

Let’s be honest; vacuuming is a chore that many of us avoid do­ ing until the dust and dirt are just too hard to ignore. To simplify this dreaded task, you might want to think about ditching your traditional canister or upright vacuum cleaner for a “central vac” system.

We cannot be held responsible for problems because of ethanol, all we can do is educate people.

Supreme gas: You must only use supreme fuel for the following reasons; regular and midgrade fuels contain a lot of ethanol which has detrimental effects on small engines. Ethanol is so thin that it sometimes gets by the needle and seat in the carburetor and fills above the piston area with fuel, which in turn drains into the engine oil causing oil contamination. If you start the engine with contaminated oil, engine seizure will result. This is why we turn the fuel valve off when not in use.

Regular gas: It is apparent when regular gas has been put in our equipment because the rubber washer under the fuel cap will swell up and not seal properly. Also, the fuel lines will rot out prematurely (which has caused fires on a six month old piece of equipment we have. Luckily, the customer was able to extinguish it). A six month old piece of equipment should not have needed a fuel line but thanks to ethanol, it did.

The unfortunate thing is, when you fill up with supreme, the first 3 liters you pay for are actually regular because it was left in the hose from the previous consumer. The only way to make sure you are getting supreme is to pump 3

to 5 liters into your car first. It would be very much appreciated if you could take that step.

Ethanol: Ethanol attracts water so after a couple months you will have gas in your can with a bit of water on the bottom. Leaving your gas can in the sun and then in the shade will cause the ethanol to separate and form water droplets too. We find that even supreme gas will last only two months and will become acidic.

Stabilizers: We tried stabilizer where we drained everything in the shop, added stabilizer and refilled and started the equipment to make sure all fuel was stabilized. The next spring we had 40 fuel-related breakdowns within a week. The stabilizer company stated that the gas company changed the formula of the gas. Maybe they are better now, but that kind of dissatisfaction is not worth the risk going forward. Stabilizers were never necessary prior to the introduction of ethanol. We now drain everything completely so we have no worries whatsoever.

The bottom line is, if the gas can has been in your garage since last fall, please don’t use it in our equipment (or your own).

The time has finally come to repaint your home’s interior but you have no idea which colours to choose. The following tips are sure to help you out.

Ever heard of a colour wheel? This tool can guide you in your choice of the right colour combinations. In 2015, it’s rich, eclectic, bright and exotic colours that are all the rage. Be daring and opt for tropical and aqua blue, reds and spicy oranges, emerald, sapphire, golden yellow, plum and indigo. Black and gray are also still popular.

If your ceilings are darker than the walls, they’ll seem lower but will give the room a warmer feel. On the other hand, a ligh­ter ceiling appears higher and the room brighter. You feel that your rooms are too small? Choose light colours to make them look bigger. You’re afraid of quickly tiring of walls that are all the same colour? In a bedroom, for example, you could opt for an accent colour on the wall where your headPHOTO: pixland / THINKSTOCK board is located.

Fall Edition 2015

For thousands of years, natural stone has been used in building projects. Elegant and timeless, it inspires artists, architects and writers from all backgrounds. In fact, the Spanish poet Federico Lorca wrote that “stone is a shoulder on which to bear Time.”

Would you like to integrate stone into your next renovation project? Even though there is a wide choice of natural stone, some kinds have been proven over time for embellishing homes — these days we see it in kitchen countertops, fireplaces, stairs, walls, patios and as exterior siding.

Granite and basalt Basalt is the most abundant volcanic rock, in terms of volume, on Earth’s surface. It is resistant to water and corrosion and is used in all phases of architectural construction, from flooring to siding. It is truly an allpurpose stone. Granite, which is strong and durable, is ideal for countertops and floors.

Marble and slate Renowned for its use by world-famous sculptors,

marble can also be used for more practical ends such as floors and countertops. Slate, on the other hand, is a grained stone used for memorial stones and decorative surfaces. In construction, slate is also very practical as roofing material. Because of its strength and its unique layered structure, masons can separate it into thin sheets.

Limestone and sandstone Limestone is a very pale stone used in building and sculpting, while sandstone is characterized by extreme hardness and has excellent resistance to chemical or climatic stress. Sandstone is used in construction, sculpture, the manufacture of grinding wheels and paving stones.

Stone is synonymous with prestige Stone adds elegance, simplicity and warmth to any room. Put simply, you just can’t go wrong when choosing granite for your bathroom, slate for a work

Put them outside in the sun for a few hours, flipping them halfway through. (Be careful leaving them out too long may fade the fabric.)

The sun will help evaporate the moisture that gets into the filling over time, and the cushions should plump up nicely.

surface or marble for a countertop. While synonymous with wealth and luxury, stone also brings a natural ambiance into stately homes. Just a touch here and there is all that’s needed to instantly give an upmarket look to your residence.

Kill two birds with one stone When the time comes to purchase natural stone for your home, take the time to learn about its proper installation and maintenance. In-store specialists at home renovation stores can suggest which products you need (grout, sealer, cleaner, trowel, etc.) and the best techniques to use. You could always entrust the task to a professional if you don’t like the idea of turning yourself into a tiler or mason for a day.

Sometimes urban and contemporary, sometimes rustic and bucolic, stone is always unique. It has no equal when it comes to beautifying a home, and you will surely impress your neighbours with your exquisite taste.

A decor that helps you sleep You probably already know that watching TV in your bedroom is a no-no, but did you know it’s not a good idea to read in bed either? Instead, organize a reading area that includes a comfortable armchair.

For a good sleep, remove all unnecessary items and accessories from the room so as to create a soothing, relaxing atmosphere rather than one that always makes you want to clean up.

Does your mattress date back to the Stone Age? Invest in a good mattress that is neither too firm nor too soft and that will give you a good night’s sleep. If you have the budget and the space, opt for a king or queen size bed so there’ll be enough room for both of you to be comfortable.

Light, however faint, can affect your sleep even

though you may not necessarily be aware of it.

Make your room completely dark by putting in drapes or opaque blinds. Bedroom lighting should never be too bright, so be sure to choose bulbs that give a warm light.

Colours influence your mood as well as your ability to sleep well, so painting the walls of your bedroom a soothing tone is always a good idea.

Pastel shades are perfect. Thinking about moving your furniture around? Don’t put your bed near the door or against a wall with a window.

Follow these simple tips and rediscover the pleasure of sleeping soundly. Of course, our decorating tips won’t be of much help to you if your partner snores. Sorry about that!

Recycle and decorate at the same time the wok with soil.

Now plant whatever you want; put it somewhere in your yard and then sit PHOTO: comstock images back and / THINKSTOCK listen to your visitors’ surprised comments.

Door handles Just changed your doorknobs and you’re wondering what to do with the old ones? Screw a few into a nice woo­den plank and attach it to a wall in the entrance hall. You can use it for hanging coats, bags, scarves, umbrellas, etc. Door handles can also be used as curtain hooks. You have too much jewelry? Hang your neck­laces and bracelets on some door handles attached to a wall.

How to prepare a disaster emergency kit No one is immune to extreme situations. Prolonged power outages, ice storms, floods, tornadoes and earthquakes are events that cause severe stress, especially for people who aren’t properly prepared. For your peace of mind, it’s a good idea to have an emergency kit at the ready.

Three days The three-day rule is the foundation of preparing a disaster emergency kit. In disaster or emergency situations, rescue teams are deployed on a priority basis. Thus, in order to survive until rescuers come to your aid, you have to be sure you have enough supplies on hand.

Your emergency kit Regardless of the type of disaster you might have to cope with, providing yourself with an emergency

kit can save you a lot of trouble.

First, stock up with enough bottled fresh water for each member of your household — that’s about two litres per person per day. You should also stock up on non-perishable food, such as energy bars and canned food. Ideally, the rest of your kit should contain: • A flashlight • Candles and a lighter, which you keep in a waterproof container • A radio with extra batteries • A first-aid kit • Personal hygiene products • A change of clothing Some stores and organizations sell ready-made emergency kits containing most of the recommended items.

If you complete this basic kit with your own personal items, you’ll be ready for whatever comes.

There’s no shortage of great ideas for decorating your home using salvaged or recycled objects. Here are three simple projects that are sure to add an original touch to your decor.

Well-dressed cushions Do you have some fabric cushions that are faded or have outdated patterns or colours? Cover them with fabric from clothes you no longer wear, whether it’s because of a broken zipper, an unsightly tear or a small stain that’s impossible to remove. What a great way to breathe new life into your cushions and clothes.

A wok in the garden If you have an old, badly scratched wok, don’t throw it away whatever you do! In a few easy steps, you can turn it into a great planter. After painting it, line the bottom with dried moss. Place upon the moss some small stones for drainage and then fill

start to finish!

Land or Water, Smiths has you Covered Fall is here and winter is around the corner. With unpredictable winter weather, Smiths has the equipment you need to be prepared.

Offering the outdoor enthusiast everything from motorbikes to personal watercraft, All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) to lawn tractors, snow throwers and garden equipment, Smiths Equipment has what you’re looking for whether on land or water.

“Trailers are a big part of the business,” says Mark Smith, co-owner of this third generation business with his brother Robert.

The wide variety includes utility, cargo, heavy equipment, dump trailers, and mobile storage.

The local company has long offered the full line of Ariens and Gravely lawn and garden equipment, but is excited to now carry the full line of Husqvara equipment.

“Husqvarna approached us to take on their line of lawn, garden and snow removal equipment and we are thrilled to now be able to offer these products to our customers,” says Trevor Phillips of Smiths Equipment Centre.

Not only will this addition mean customers will have more options in mowers, snow blowers and other heavy duty equipment, but for the first time at this location a line of hand-held equipment will be available. This is an exciting chapter for Smiths as they can now service the needs of everyone from the homeowner to contractor with the full Husqvarna line of mowers, trimmers and chainsaws.

“We can cover them completely

now,” Phillips said.

This change comes from customer demand and a desire to diversify the products offered on the showroom floor year around.

Smiths offers full winterization of your personal watercraft, ATV or bike. They are also happy to offer shrink wrapping to ensure that your toy remains in great condition over the winter months.

When good machines need a tune-up, Smiths Equipment

Centre offers full parts and service for all product lines sold as well as most competitive brands. The service centre is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., but drop offs are welcome on Saturday for convenience.

Thinking of Spring already?

Kawasaki also offers a selection of personal watercraft guaranteeing tons of fun for the summer. For the outdoorsman, they also carry the full line of G3 Boats

by Yamaha along with Yamaha outboard motors and for the sunbathers, Smiths has a selection of Suncatcher pontoon boats which are perfect for family fun.

In the market for a used PWC, boat, or pontoon? Smiths carries a healthy pre-owned selection and if they don’t have it they will try their best to find what you are looking for.

Smiths Equipment Centre first opened its doors in 2008. Located at 327-A Hwy. 15, it’s perfectly situated in rural eastern Ontario between Ottawa and Kingston.

To better accommodate the new lines added in 2014, the company expanded its land holdings, giving it more highway frontage and overall display space.

Come fall, the business offers winterizing and storage of watercraft on site, “an extra service we can offer our customers.”

The business has grown consistently since first opening its doors seven years ago. If someone is there to browse, they’re free to look. Smith’s Equipment Centre is open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Trust us for professional sales and superior service.

YOUR HOME Fall Edition 2015 Woods that blend with any decor

PHOTO: CIARAN GRIFFIN / THINKSTOCK

Wood is a highly versatile material that can be used in building or for beautifying all types of homes. Nature has given us an almost infinite variety of tree species to work with. Indeed, more than 65,000 species have been identified around the world. Here are some of the kinds of wood most commonly used in construction and renovation projects.

Oak A symbol of longevity, the majestic oak can easily live for over 500 years in the wild. Under ideal conditions, it can survive for almost 1,000 years. Oak trees produce a wood that is easy to cut and that rarely cracks. In ad­dition, it is heavy and shock resistant. Thanks to these qualities, oak is often used for flooring, structural frames and stairs.

A trio of pines 1) White pine is a fast grower that reaches up to 90 me­tres high and can have a diameter of 2.5 metres. White pine is a superior quality wood that’s appreciated in cabinetmaking and carpentry.

2) Red pine is named for the colour of its bark, which ranges from red to pink.

Stronger than white pine, it is of­ten used to make wide-plank flooring and utility poles.

3) Jack pine is a common conifer whose knots give a nice appearance to planks. It is often used for panel­ling and siding.

Maple Did you know that according to legend, the famous Trojan horse was built of maple?

Maple is a species found around the world.

Its wood is divided into two categories: hardwood and soft wood. Hard maple wood

is heavy and valued for its sturdiness. Soft maple wood, on the other hand, is used for purposes that require less strength.

Popular types of wood In the field of interior decoration, rare or precious woods are in big demand at the moment. For a unique look, designers love the sublime beauty of ebony, mahogany, sandalwood, pink ivory, zebrawood, amaranth and olive. These exotic woods are more expensive than the common kinds, but their rich colours and fine grain are well worth the price.

Bamboo is an affor­dable, elegant alternative and it is also an eco-friendly choice.

Reclaimed barn wood and driftwood are also experiencing their hour of glory. Sometimes grey, sometimes bleached, these relics are like treasure to those who know how to breathe new life into them.

Decorating with wood: don’t overdo it!

Whatever the type, wood immediately adds warmth to a home’s atmosphere.

However, unless you want to create a country cottage atmosphere, be sure not to overdo it. In other words, don’t go crazy by mixing several different types and colours. Use a harmonious blend of woods and stains to create a coherent decor for living the good life. When in doubt, don’t hesitate to call in a professional decorator.

SQUEAKY DOOR HINGES Spray a little WD-40 onto the hinges, moving the door back and forth to work in the lubricant. Or try rubbing the hinges with petroleum jelly. If these tricks don’t work, lift the hinge pins about halfway and lubricate them with three-in-one oil, using a rag to catch drips.

Did you know that the kitchen is one of the two most important rooms (along with the bathroom) when it comes time to sell your home? Even if you’re not planning on moving any time soon, it’s still worthwhile turning your kitchen into a place you’ll enjoy and that will appeal to future buyers.

To make it a good investment, pay particular attention to the quality and durability of the materials chosen.

You love entertaining family and friends? If you have plenty of room, put in a comfortable seating area where your guests can relax and chat with you while you’re cooking. Feel like a change? A kitchen island with dining space has many advantages.

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your home.

Did you know that cross contamination can easily occur without your knowledge, it happens when an older or malfunctioning septic leaks effluents into your well and lake water. In many situations older wells that do not have adequate casing can contribute to this problem. It may not be your own system but a neighbours, or a poorly maintained well even further abroad that is the cause.

Once contamination reaches the water table it is free to spread, not just to our drinking water but also our lakes and rivers.

A simple inspection and water test can identify a problem, so do not hesitate when you are asked to take part in a re-inspection program for your home and cottage systems. You can help to protect yourself and our environment by having this problem identified and taking action. A new installation or upgrade of your current system will help rectify the situation ensuring the distance between your septic, your well and the lake shore meet the current regulations. Well casing can be upgraded and the installation of a modern tertiary septic system such as an Ecoflo unit will help maximize clean effluents back into the ground.

Brick belongs inside as well In the story of the three little pigs, the most cunning of the brothers built his house out of bricks. That wise decision saved his life. Indeed, brick is very resistant, which makes it a material of choice for the exterior walls of homes. But did you know it also integra­tes perfectly into your interior decor?

The advantages of brick Brick differs from other materials because of its esthetic properties, superior durability, impact resistance and its thermal and acoustic insulation qualities. Another major advantage of brick is undoubtedly the fact that it seldom requires maintenance.

Classic brick Laid by a masonry professional, classic brick is timeless and gives a distinctive look to any room. It can be quite costly, but you’re not likely to regret such an investment. Indeed, decorators consider it to be a safe bet.

Decorative brick The craze for decorative brick is undeniable. In response to consumer demand, sto­res offer an impressive selection of synthe­tic bricks in a wide range of textures and colours. Lighter and easier to install than conventional

Elegant and versatile brick is a safe bet for any room in your house. brick, they’re a viable option for creating a modern style with little effort.

Everywhere in the house You can use bricks to build a fireplace surround or a wine cellar, to enhance a traditional kitchen, to add an urban touch to a bedroom or give a cozy look to a living room. It won’t take long for you to be ins­pired by the many faces of brick.

Five key elements for a practical laundry room 1) Decor Interior decorators are unanimous; it’s in the smaller rooms of your home that you can allow yourself to go crazy. Go ahead and choose a theme for your laundry room that inspires you: retro, exotic, an­tique or romantic. Then go wild with wallpaper murals, vibrant colours and un­usual accessories.

2) Washing A deep sink and an efficient washing ma­chine are essential in a functional laundry room. The perfect sink comes equip­ped with a longneck faucet that lets you be able to fill up a bucket. To prevent possible water damage, call in a professional to make sure all water inlets are watertight and that the main drain isn’t clogged.

3) Drying Set up a removable rod or, if there’s not enough space, a retractable clothesline for drying delicate items. You could also

install a fixed rod for hanging up your clothes to dry on hangers.

4) Folding A flat, unobstructed surface is essential for folding bedding and clothing. A practical solution is to use the tops of a front load washer and dryer. You could also recycle a kitchen counter or island worktop and install it just above your appliances to keep odd socks from falling into the space between your machines.

5) Storage Suspended or full-sized cabinets are great for keeping cleaning products and ac­ces­sories out of sight.

Installing shel­ves above the doors is another clever way to save space.
